Your 5 Favorite Books
I read Animal Vegetable Miracle in college and it completely changed the way I thought about food. Honestly I knew things had a "season" but I don't know that I could have necessarily told you that asparagus typically "bloom" in March, or that onions are in season in the summer. These foods are always in the grocery store... so they're always "in season." This book really makes you reconsider your dietary choices, and the benefits of eating locally.
I know everyone and their sister loves The Help. I'm no exception. I was a little dissappointed by the movie, but that's just because the book was that good.
I finally picked up Tina Fey's book when I was in Ohio. I read the whole thing in two sittings. It's hilarious. I love her.
Who didn't love the hunger games? I couldn't put down the series once I started. SO intense. LOVED it.
This book really changed my life. In fact, I may read it again. It inspired my {25 before 25} project, and really just made me evaluate. I seriously think you should all go out and buy this book RIGHT now. Seriously. Go. I'll be here when you get back.

I just finished reading the Happiness Project last week! And it, too, changed my life! And I've never felt like that about a book before. Definitely so inspiring!

Tina Fey's book is one of my faves. Have you tried Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir). Hysterical.
So… I have never heard of the Happiness Project until reading this post but I may have to sneak onto Amazon right now and order it. I am pretty sure you sold me on it.
Ooohhh....there are a couple on your list that I haven't read -- thanks for sharing!
I have read all of these books except the first one! Thanks for stopping by my blog and introducing me to yours :) you got a new follower!

I really want to read the happiness project- I've heard such good things about it. I'm also interested in the first book- I love books about food
I loved The Help and The Hunger Games! I am putting Bossy Pants and The Happiness Project on my list of books to read right now.
The Happiness Project is one of my all time favorites - it's life changing!! I am going to have to give Bossypants another shot - I couldn't get through it the first time but I'll have to try again!
The first book sounds awesome, I love Michael Pollan's books when it comes to food and awareness, definitely check him out!
I've read all but the Tiny Few book and might have to now!
LOVED the hunger games! and bossypants is on my to-read list!
I've always been a big fan of Barbara Kingsolver; I need to read that book! Thanks for sharing!
Good choices!
I've never read the Hunger Games - probably the only person in America who hasn't - but I love the rest of these books! Barbara Kingsolver is amazing!
I loved the Hunger Games! I have The Help, but I've yet to read it, and most of the other books are on my "to read" list! Great picks!
I loved The Help! Amazing book, read in whilst on hols, so also have great memories attached to reading it. Just finished Water for Elephants and coudln't put it down...so good!
I gasped when I saw that dress! I love it!!
