One thing Calvin knows well about me is that I don't particularly like surprises. I can't wait to find out how a film or book ends so I don't mind spoilers, in fact sometimes I enjoy the experience more if I know the ending going into it. So Calvin spilled the beans on the birthday gifts he ordered for me. One of them is a book called "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin. I am SOOO excited to read it. A book that excites you is one of the most wonderful pleasures in life as far as I am concerned. I particularly enjoy memoirs and although I hate to admit it, I also love me a good self help book. This one seems to combine both genres and I'm really excited about getting into.
Here is a clip of the author talking about her project:
The other gift is a copy of Bon Iver's album: For Emma, Forever ago. I got teary eyed over this one because I adore this album and he knows because I used to listen to Nita and Andy's copy of it on repeat constantly. Calvin had quite a good little record collection when we got married. He ordered this album for me on vinyl so that his collection can become our collection. Dreamy, right?
what about books about oppressed chinese women?
ReplyDeleteor afghani women? haha, actually i bought one based in afghanistan the other day and i thought of you. you need to tell me if the happiness project is good or not because i was wondering if i should read it. and i also love that bon iver album, have you heard the blood bank song? also a fave.:) anyways, we do have to talk soon! love ya!
