One the Fiction I have too many to list but I just read “The Last Lecture” and it ranks up high on my list and I am getting ready to read “Anna Karenina” for a college class!
Thanks for the list! One of my favorite books is “The Glass Castle” by Jeanette Wall. It is the story of her childhood and family. I will put “Your Money or Your Life” on my reading list.
Alisha,
I read “Anna Karenina” years ago and I liked it, but I had trouble keeping the Russian names straight! I suggest writing down a cast of characters to keep everybody straight.
I have read several of these and they rank up there with my favorites.
For organization I like Sidetracked Home Executives (shesintouch.com) and also House Works by Cynthia Townley Ewer (organizedhome.com). I too like Sink Reflections (flylady.net).
The Tightwad Gazette is a great book, as is the Economides’ book and also the Miserly books.
Great list. I’ve read many of them but will be checking out some of the ones I haven’t read. By the way, I nominated you for an award on my blog. Thanks for the great tips I’ve learned over the past few months!
