Books can be flowers - and sometimes they are weeds.

I meant for the title to be Flowers and Books but I don't know how to change the title of my blog from Flowers so that will have to be that.

The book I have just finished reading may be the most inspiring yet.: Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, an amazing book that I highly recommend (read it Mim) as it addresses the dire situation of many women around the world and yet is not depressing but inspirational about changes that are empowering women. Much still to be done....

Next book for book club is Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I'll also be plowing through Macbeth again with my Year 12s and The Count of Monte Cristo recommended by my lovely Mother-in-law. Also hoping to get through a couple more books of the Bible with 66 Love Letters, my other book group's book.

  1. Hi Grace,

    I found it really inspiring and challenging too. Definitely agree with the George Clooney quote on the cover, that you can't read this book and do nothing.
