    Now Reading: The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kate Tempest

    “Kate is a young British writer known for her brave and witty take on the modern world—I love that she’s not afraid to explore this using different mediums including poetry, rapping, and writing plays. To me she’s a leading voice for the next generation regardless of background and circumstance.”

    Now Reading: See Me by Nicholas Sparks

    “I love all the Nicholas Sparks books! In all honesty I am quite the hopeless romantic and I love a good fairy tale, emotional roller coaster, and happily-ever-after story.”

    Now Reading: Purity by Jonathan Franzen

    “In the beginning of the novel Purity, the protagonist is a college graduate living in the Bay Area (where I spent time while attending college) struggling in post-graduate debt and unsure of her life ahead. Then the story expands to a global scale as Purity joins a rogue organization that exposes corporate exploits. There’s a very twisted, satiric but introspective storyline that reflects upon family values and the life of today, the age of the Internet. I think the story is very intriguing and relatable, and I enjoyed seeing regional references like Telegraph Avenue and co-ops in Oakland as well as global, such as Wikileaks.”

    Now Reading: Life Lessons From the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma

    “I love reading books about self-evolving and living life openly and fully. This book in particular wasn’t what I expected when I bought it, but since reading it, I’m addicted, and I would recommend it to anyone who may be feeling stuck or lost. Full of positivity and everyday learning.”

    Now Reading: Ivory, Apes & Peacocks: Animals, Adventure and Discovery in the Wild Places of Africa by Alan Root

    “It's a story about the life of filmmaker Alan Root. His intimate documentaries show the lives and beauty of animals in nature. If you have seen one of his films, like the Oscar-winning 1959 documentary Serengeti Shall Not Die, you would have no idea of the insanity behind the scenes unless you read this entertaining and true story.”

    Now Reading: Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

    “It's an all-time classic! It tells the story of the Buddha’s enlightenment through a fictional narrative, so it has every bit of advice on conducting a balanced, nonattached, compassionate life. It’s also short and easy to follow which makes it perfect for reading backstage amidst the chaos!”

    Now Reading: Hitchcock by François Truffaut

    “This is a conversation between Alfred Hitchcock and François Truffaut. They have been speaking about cinema for hours, and there is nothing better than the master himself to talk about his entire work, why he made those choices, why he recorded that scene this way, the problems along the way, what were his intentions, his regrets. In one word: fascinating.”

    Now Reading: The Mummy at the Dining Room Table by Jeffrey A. Kottler and Jon Carlson

    “Sanity teeters on the scale of normalcy as the meaning itself is examined within the psychotherapy community, and redefined by those tipping the balance in The Mummy at the Dining Room Table. Authors Drs. Jeffery A. Kottler and Jon Carlson take an in-depth look into 32 of the most unusual doctor-and-patient case-related studies. It’s a book I revisit often; it reveals how the human mind copes and overcomes trauma from one’s own perspective."
