I’ve been reading.
But I haven’t been blogging. I’m not sure how many hours I spent on airplanes over the last couple months, but it’s more than I care to calculate. The airplane time, coupled with the fab iPad birthday gift have led me to be above average when it comes to the One Book, One Month Challenge. […]

Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
I finally read a book by Malcolm Gladwell. Likely prompted by Jeff reading What the Dog Saw. He hasn’t blogged about it yet (hint, hint) :). It was good. Reminded me of an extended version of Radiolab (awesome NPR show/podcast) or a TED talk. Random cool information that makes you think. Ironically, this book is […]

This book is awesome. I had been referencing it for awhile before I even read it, so I figured it was time to actually see what it had to say. I was also prompted by hearing Steve Corbett speak a couple months ago. I have been inspired to give a presentation on it myself at […]

I must start by thanking Amazon for recommending this book to me. I likely never would have discovered it otherwise. I was finally replacing my Rent DVD that was stolen during The Great Break In of 2008, when this little gem popped up on my screen. So I decided to see if Amazon really knows […]

A surprisingly quick medical-y read. I have had this on my bookshelf for awhile (thanks to my brother) but recently was given an article written by Gawande on my Geriatrics rotation that was really good so I figured I’d pick this one up. Maybe I should’ve been reading other articles for my Geriatrics rotation instead […]

Last week I ran my second half-marathon. This one went better than the first, but I’d still like to be able to run faster. I saw a training plan based on these principles and decided to read the book. The premise behind the book is that by running less miles at a higher intensity and […]

Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families & Churches by Russell D. Moore
I know what you’re thinking. It’s something like, “Here goes Steph with another one of her adoption books.” And yes, you are right. I’m not sure where to start with this one, other than to say I would really, really like for you to read it. Yes, you. Dr. Moore lives in Louisville and he […]

Disclaimer: Let’s not make any assumptions based on the fact that I read this book! Margaret Schwartz published a collection of her journal entries written as she went through the adoption process – from the time she began her paperwork through about six months after she brought her children home. A single 43 year-old, Schwartz […]

I enjoy reading about ways to improve my diet and exercise more effectively. This book caught my interest because it claimed to discuss why we eat too much and why some people seem unable to resist certain foods. This was of interest to me as I counsel people on how to lose weight every day […]
