What am I Reading Right Now?
Absolutely nothing.
It’s kinda weird. Yet, at the same time maybe not so weird because I’m usually either completely engulfed in a book or not reading anything at all.
Usually I have a book on the go. But since I finished the The Lost Girls: Three Friends. Four Continents. One Unconventional Detour Around the World by Jennifer Baggett, Holly C. Corbett, Amanda Pressner, nearly a month ago, I have not starting reading anything new. I have bought new books, I’ve flipped through page, read the first few pages of multiple books, but I just haven’t really dug into anything new.
Why? I have no idea.
So, what should I read next? I have many books sitting on my bookshelf that I could read, and I’m currently eying these three books:
- The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan – a collection of essays and short stories by Marina Keegan who was killed at the young age of 22 in a tragic car accident.
- Escape by Carolyn Jessop – the story of a women who escaped and left the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with her 8 children.
- The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are by Brené Brown – a leading researcher and storyteller discusses living wholeheartedly while diving into shame, authenticity and belonging
Does anyone have any other good authors or books to suggest?
My Perfect Breakdown 
I’ve not read the other two, but I really enjoyed reading Escape. It was unsettling, but it was also a very good read.

Thanks for the suggestion – I actually watched the TED talk a few months ago and loved it. And for some reason, I just never got around to reading the actual book. I guess there is no better time then now to start!
