Well as you can see, I'm reading up on nourishing my (and our little family's) mind, body and soul.    The fermenting of food has long been on my to do list, but I have to say I've been a little daunted by the whole process, so I'm hoping that by researching it a bit more, it won't seem so scary.  I'd love to make our own sourdough bread so that might be the one to start with - I may just have to jump right in the deep end and not think too much about it (something I have a tendency to do).

The 'I quit Sugar' has been one that keeps popping up everywhere and I've been intrigued, especially with these 'new' findings that suggest that it's really sugar, and not fat, that's bad for us.  I saw it at the library and I'm glad I borrowed it - it makes sense to me so far, and the recipes at the back look simple and delicious.

What can I say about 'My Heart Wanders'.... beautiful, inspiring, escapism at its best.  I love travel books, particularly those that are about living in another country (particularly Paris) and this one was lovely.  The author actually lives on a house boat in Amsterdam at one stage...wow. 

I've just finished 'Eleanor and Park' by Rainbow Rowell which was sad and so very, very sweet, AND it has a nice ending.  I'm a sucker for a book with a nice ending....that's the romantic in me I guess.

My next read is 'Have a little Faith' by Mitch Albom, which has been sitting in my pile of 'must reads' for ...hmmm... let's just say a while...

What have you been reading?  Anything good??   I'd love some recommendations...

Happy reading,

Some early morning reading time....

I'm almost finished reading 'Perfect' by Rachel Joyce.  This is the blurb;

In 1972, two seconds were added to time. It was in order to balance clock time with the movement of the earth. Byron Hemming knew this because James Lowe had told him and James was the cleverest boy at school. But how could time change? The steady movement of hands around a clock was as certain as their golden futures.
Then Byron's mother, late for the school run, makes a devastating mistake. Byron's perfect world is shattered. Were those two extra seconds to blame? Can what follows ever be set right?

Sounds intriguing doesn't it?

I'm also re-reading Rhonda Hetzel's 'Down to Earth, A guide to simple living.'  I read this for the first time about 2 years ago and every so often, when I lose focus or need inspiration, I re-read it.

Happy reading,

.....'The Rosie Project' by Graeme Simsion.  I've read the first couple of pages and I'm hooked.   Very funny.

I hope to make 'Currently Reading...' a regular post.  Reading is one of my all time favourite things to do and I'd love to share some of my favourite books and new 'finds' with you.

These are the books currently sitting at the end of my dining table.  Lots of crafty inspiration and recipe ideas.

What are you reading this month??
