I have so much in my life to be thankful for, so I figured I would continue the trend of sharing what I’m thankful for into this week. I had a lovely Thanksgiving last week with friends and family, and I’m still working my way through leftovers as I write this post. Is there anything better than Thanksgiving leftovers? I don’t think so. I have so many books to be thankful for because of what they taught me about the world and about myself, but I narrowed this weeks post down to the top 5 books I’m thankful for. Let’s get started!
Not That Kind of Girl: A Review
Title: Not That Kind of Girl Author: Lena Dunham Genre: Memoir Quotation: “You’ve learned a new rule and it’s simple: don’t put yourself in situations you’d like to run away from.” Would recommend to: anyone who needs to feel like they aren’t alone. Lena Dunham is the creator and writer of Girls, the hit show on HBO that follows the crazy lives of four girls in the city. Not That Kind of Girl was published in 2014 and hit #2 on The New York Times Best Sellers List after just one month on the market, and I can see why. I’ve been meaning to read this book for years, and when I finally got it I was thrilled. I wanted…
