Too Many Good Books

I recently received my latest shipment of rented books from Bookswim. I’m feeling a little overwhelmed by books right now. I have found by using Bookswim I’m actually choosing books more outside my “regular reading zone”. I’m getting some business books, and some money management books, and other things I wouldn’t normally read if I had to buy the book at the bookstore.

This is fantastic, but it’s taking me a little longer to get through them, and sometimes I need a break from one or two of them. Which means,  I’m reading 4 or 6 books right now. Which is highly unusual for me. I’m a one book at a time kinda girl mostly.

Here’s some of the fantastic books I’m currently reading.
you know ~ in all the free time I have.

The Vortex

This is a fantastic new book from Abraham-Hicks. I’m really enjoying it, but it is taking time for all the material to sink in. I’m finding I can only read a chapter at a time, and then I have to leave it for a bit. I actually bought this book because I REALLY wanted to read it, and it kept getting pushed back in my que at Bookswim ~ but they do have it. I’m glad I bought it now seeing how long it’s taking me to get through it.

Good to Great

This is a really interesting book by Jim Collins. It studies a few distinct companies and how they made the leap from being good companies to be great companies. They have paired each great company with a counterpart company (same industry ~ same level at the beginning) to compare the differences. I got this book through Bookswim and added it to my que on the basis of a recommendation I heard from Kim Roach on a webinar one day about driving traffic to your website. It’s very interesting but it’s taking me a long time to get through it too.

Everyday Bliss for Busy Women

I’ve had this book for a long while and loved it the first read through. The only problem is I didn’t implement any of the techniques long term. I’m going through it again and making many of the things she teaches a part of my everyday life. This one is taking a while too.

Motherhood is Murder

This one I just received in the mail from the author yesterday. I reviewed her first book Bundle of Trouble and LOVED it, so I jumped at the chance to review this one as well. I started it last night and I’m sure it will be a quick and fun read. A nice relief from all this “heavy” reading I’m doing. I’ll do a full review of this one when I’m finished ~ but I’m already enjoying it!

Two books sitting on the desk waiting to be read:

I have two more books that are still sitting here waiting for me to get to them. That’s the one issue I have with Bookswim ~ and I have the same issue with Netflix ~ I can’t choose the exact movie I’m getting. Although at Bookswim they do let you choose 1 book (on the 3 book plan) that you will definitely get in the next shipment. Here’s the two that are sitting here staring at me:

The Total Money Makeover

I hear this is a fantastic book, but I must admit I may have been a little optimistic about my desire to deal with this issue when I added it to my bookswim que. We’ll see.

House of Cards A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street

I think I heard about this book from an interview on NPR. It does sound pretty interesting, and again, this is a book I NEVER would have bought at the bookstore ~ but it feels free coming from Bookswim. I’ll let you know when I get it finished what I thought.

I know I’m overwhelmed with books right now, but it won’t be like that forever ~ I’m always looking for good books to add to my bookswim rental pool ~ any recommendations? I’d love to hear what you’re reading!
