“A Visit from the Goon Squad” is VERY good! I’ve started a Happiness Project but it’s taking a little while to get into it. Have you checked out http://www.goodreads.com? It’s one of my new favourite sites (along with PINTEREST!). . .
Also on my reading list: “Water for Elephants” and “The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake”
If you haven’t read “One Day” by David Nicholls or “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” by Mary Ann Shaffer I HIGHLY recommend both!

Hehe.. your reading list looks magnificent. I was going to add “The Guernsey LIterary and Potato Peel Pie Society” but Anie covered that one.. its a great read!
I agree about the Happiness Project as well.. it definitely takes some time to get through it you may try approaching it in the same way that the author approached each goal during the project. She tackled one goal (in your case one chapter) at a time in order to really get the most out of each phase of her project.
Happy reading gals.

I’ve heard great things about The Happiness Project. I think it might be on my list as well.

I just started Cutting for Stone which came highly recommended and I’ve got to say it’s hard to put down. I’m on Goodreads too and it is a great site where you can connect with friends and see what they’re reading. I’ve got about 50 books on my to read list so who knows what’s next.

just finished the happiness project and it was phenomenal! I love that she instills change in her life rather than needing to change her entire situation, inspiring & i hope you love it also.

This post made me very excited. I will add some of these to my list
The potato peel society is a good book, finished it a few weeks ago.
I heard 3 cups of tea is really good; girl with the dragon tattoo was good. If you have the patience, pillars of the earth rocks.
ps. Design Crush– I heart your blog.
