Hi friends! How was the weekend? We passed it to Phoenix for the LIV dance competition. Her team did a great job, we enjoyed a family brunch, and I fell away for a Lagree class – she wins everywhere.
For today’s position, I wanted to share a slight review of the books I have recently read. After a little drought, I have made more time to read recently. (I have also relaxed a little bit for Spanish studies and ihp 3 studies, but so it goes sometimes.) Almost all of them were domestic routes and I’m excited to share them with you! If you have amazing books you are reading right now, let me know. Soon I will sit on a cruise ship with coffee and a book in hand and I am so ready.
ADHD is awesome by Penn Holderness
I heard the audio version and I highly recommend listening to this. I have been a holderness family fan for years and excited this book because I feel that everything I have seen on the internet convinced me that I have ADHD. Always wanting to learn, postpone the pressure (and then spend all night or a compact 8-10 hour block that completes something), to constantly change the hobbies (remember the flamenco and ukulele dance?
This book It’s such a fun, real look at what really is to live with ADHD. Penn Holderness shares his personal stories and shows how ADHD is not something to “fix”. Instead, he talks about how a real power can be when you learn how to work with your brain. He is funny, open and extremely encouraging for anyone who ever felt that his brain works a little differently.
He also stressed that ADHD is really a spectrum and honestly, I’m not sure if I have it after reading this book. (Another proof of the fact that doctors provide dianoses, not google or social media lol.) 9/10
From Amazon:
You live in a world that was not designed for you. A world where you expect to sit down, stay quiet and focus. Because of the way your brain is wired, you can feel like failing in life. But you don’t fail. You’re awesome.
Award -winning Content Creators Kim and Penn Holderness are on a mission to restart how we think of the unfortunately called “Tire Disorder/Attention Hyperactivity”. As always, they do it by looking in the mirror because they do not only study ADHD. They live it.
Penn was in college when he was diagnosed with ADHD, though the signs of the existence of a brain that worked a little differently were there since he was a child. Instead of seeing the diagnosis as a curse or giving feelings of inadequacy or failure, he got a different approach that he wants to share with colleagues and people who care about them.
Based on their frequent hilarious knowledge and know -how of doctors, researchers and experts. Kim and Penn provide fun, handy tips and explanations such as:
What is it really to live with an ADHD brain.
How to find humor in the traps, Sob stories and incredible triumphs (like the time they won the stunning race!) That come with ADHD.
How to face the challenges ADHD presents a positive outlook.
Targeted tools and techniques to play with your unique advantages.
Fun addances like ADHD BINGO, an ODE for cargo pants, and what people would look like if the adjectives were responsible.
Take it from Penn: Having ADHD can be scary, but it comes with incredible upsides, including creativity, overload and energy. You might say it’s amazing. Whether you have ADHD or you want to support someone else on their journey, this is the guide you need to make the life you want
The things we can’t say by Kelly Rimmer
This completely pulls your heart. It is reversed between today’s and Poland of World War II, as a woman reveals her grandmother’s hidden past. It is a powerful blend of love, loss and durability, and the end was not what I expected. It was even more heart and beautiful. If you love dual -time and historical fiction stories, you will like it. 9/10

Now fifteen and dedicated, Alina is not invisible to reports by Nazi soldiers on the Polish border, believing in her neighbors that they are not a real threat and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college to Warsaw so they can get married. But slowly, the injustice of violent injustice, the Nazi occupation also holds the tiny agricultural village of Alina, its families are divided by fear and hatred.
Then, as the fabric of their lives slowly gets, Tomasz disappears. Where Alina used to measure the time between visits from her beloved, she now measures the spaces between hope and despair, waiting for a word from Tomasz and avoiding the attention of soldiers patrolling her parents’ farm. But for now, even deafening silence is preferable to sadness.

Be ready when luck happens by Ina Garten
I was expecting to read this book forever, and Eventually it took the time to hear the sound version. It has exceeded all my expectations. It was a warm, honest reflection on how she followed her intuition, took bold dangers and created a virtual career, often without a formal plan. From work to the White House to launch the Barefoot Contessa Brand, it is full of stories about its unexpected opportunities, the challenges behind the scenes and relationships that shaped her journey.
I had been a fan of Ina for years and learned to cook from watching the food network when we were newlyweds and lived in Fayetteville, NC. It was wild for me to know that he bought in the same hairdresser (in ft Bragg!) While he also learned to cook … but it would be one to teach me from a screen a few decades later. She is full of fun stories, and even better to hear her say with her own voice. It was a beautiful reminder that you should not always have a specific plan. You just have to really stay in yourself and be ready when luck happens. I really liked it. 10/10
From Amazon:
Here, for the first time, Ina Garten presents a familiar, fun and inspirational account of its remarkable trip. Ina’s gift is to make everything look easy, but all its achievements were the result of hard work, bold choices and excellent attention to detail. With her undisputed voice (no one tells a story like Ina), she brings her past and process to life in a high spirit and has not accumulated the monuments that records decades of personal challenges, adventures (and abuse), and unexpected turns, all over his career.
From a difficult childhood to meet the love of her life, Jeffrey, and to marry him while still in college, from a boring bureaucratic work in Washington, DC, to respond to an advertisement for a special food store in Hamptons, from the owner of a Barefoot Contessa Shop Television, Ina and Entertains and Entertainment of Contessa of Trail and Entertain OnDertime, Howing on Manage and Custare of Contessa. Now, she invites them to come closer to experience her story in vibrant detail and share the important life lessons she learned along the way: Do what you love because if you love her you will be really good at it, swing for the fences and always be ready.
