My Summer Reads series is back today and I am THRILLED to share these titles with you!
This summer, I have really been intentional about reading.
When E was first born, reading was the last thing on my to-do list, however I have realized that it gives me so much joy to read and really is one of my favorite hobbies... so now I really try to prioritize it during my "me" time! (insert nerd alert here). I made it my goal to read 25 books this year and so far I am 13 books in! #newyearsresolutionstillgoingstrong #shockingiknow
Check out these amazing reads & also check out my account on Goodreads to read my recommendations and ratings on a whole bunch of my favorite books!

I absolutely loved Candace as DJ Tanner on Full House when I was growing up and I enjoyed watching her journey on Dancing with the Stars. This book reveals all that she went through behind the scenes of the show as well as many of her convictions on faith and family. This book holds so much great Biblical truth with very practical application and I really took away a lot from this book. I will be doing a full review on some of the themes from this book next week as I am on the official launch team so stay tuned!
2. The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
This mega-popular book made it into my hands and I finished it in two days. WOW. So much great wisdom on organizing and tidying! I wanted to basically start over and reorganize my whole house when I was done. The KonMari method is all about finding joy in what you have in your home and organizing things in a way that nothing is forgotten or goes unnoticed. I really enjoyed learning about this method and hope to apply some of these principles in our home! Definitely read this if you plan to do a big fall cleaning before back to school, it will help so much!

Those three words Let It Go made so popular by Frozen have a whole new meaning with this book. As women, I find that we have so many roles & jobs as the keeper of the home, mom, wife, friend, daughter... the list goes on! This book talks about letting go of the need to always control and plan and to really just give it all over to God. This book was a great reminder to me as I am definitely a super Type A personality and could let go in some areas for sure!
4. Savor by Shauna Niequist
This is actually a year long devotional that I am reading but I just adore this book. Shauna's life lessons are worded so beautifully just as many of her other books that I have read. She has such a gift with words and paints the perfect picture of the scenes she describes. Whether on family, love, loss, relationships, heartache, happiness, health, or finances, Shauna covers all the topics we deal with in life in this devotional. I highly recommend this if you are looking to start diving into a devotional!

5. The Fringe Hours by Jessica Turner
Every woman needs to get this book like ASAP. Like read this blog post and get in your car and drive to Target and snatch this baby up (with a Starbucks too for added pleasure ;)) Seriously this book is so good for those of you like me that struggle with time management. As a mom and wife, I have many roles in my household that I love and enjoy so much that sometimes I forget to make a little time for myself. This book is all about how to use the "fringe" hours of your day to make a little extra time for you or to use those hours productively so that ultimately you can make more time for what you enjoy. This book is so practical and so easy to read- I just LOVED it! I have found myself making more time for me and realize how much that fills me up to do the things I am passionate about. Can't say enough good things about this treasure!
What are some of your current faves, fellow bookworms?
