Look below to see some of the wonderful books I am reading at the moment. Yes ... Books. My mind is a hive and I always have at least four on the go. I read too fast to just have one. Why many books at once? Because I always get sad when a good book ends and, I don't know. It prolongs it to have several on the go. I am dead picky though. So if a book is full of typos, boring sentence structures or unimaginative characters it gets chucked (read: given to charity) the best read I am on at the mo is @brenebrown s daring greatly. For so many reasons, but also because as a fellow academic I do love research based discussions and when they are sexily packaged in just the right ratio of glorious language and swear words... I'm sold. That's probably why I really should have married Paul Auster, but that gorgeous Swedish dish @sirihustvedt got born first so 😉

One of the great things about #daringgreatly is that it's nonjudgmental but at the same time doesn't take any BS. You want to get on, get in the arena. Don't judge my sorry arse for putting my pale pain-written face out there if you're not willing to show yourself.
This is me. I am Sus. I write to survive and paint to feel alive. What's your deal? In the spirit of honesty, I also live for the glorious taste of my sweetheart's kisses and the smell of freshly ground coffee at sunrise. & rain on hot asphalt. & newly mowed grass. & chocolate (don't eat sugar at the moment but I remember chocolate like I remember .... Things that will get this post banned from Blogger)

You will also spot two of the incredible motivational speaker and downright inspirational in the arena Scott Berkun's books. I hold them dear. I would have them all but my 'project fiscal abundance' is sort of taking it's time so for now I caress these two beauties. #mindfire is just. .. read it. You'll see.

So anyways swipe and see the beautiful books I am reading. And go get the short story collection #thisparadise by #rubycowling  it is as close to perfect you can get. Perfect is not a word I would use about the female persuasion by #megwolitzer but I would call it a really important and mind-blowing read that is the perfect choice for a feisty book club fight.
You can also see #ifoundmytripe by   #ruthfitzmaurice and that book. Is hands down the best memoir I've read in a decade. Also. As I am #lovingsomeonewithcancer I know what it's like to feel like you're constantly living on borrowed time, I felt seen. Naked even
