summer reading round-up

In the whirlwind of the last several weeks, I haven't had as much time to read for pleasure. Time to change that! Getting a new (second) job, getting engaged, graduating, and going on vacation are not excuses for slacking in the RFP (Reading for Pleasure) department. Here are a few books I'm excited to read this summer!


A conversation about self-help books with a good friend reminded me of this classic from the early 1980s. Love it.



I've only read Amor en el tiempo de Colera in Spanish. My skills aren't up to speed, so I plan to read it in English.




My favorite comedian and writer of all time published this book about her life growing up as a "bossypants."


Inspired by Buddhist teachings, this book identifies all of the characteristics of true love.
