Book recommendations

I didn't just watch movies! I promise! I also read a couple of books (and some magazines) while we were in Hawaii.
Where I read this book was gorgeous, too!
Per GoodreadsI Like You Just the Way I Am is about not doing the right thing—about indulging your inner crazy-person. It is Jenny when she's not trying to impress anyone or come across as a responsible, level-headed member of society. With any luck it will make youbetter acquainted with who you really are and what you really want. Which, let's be honest, is most likely someone else's email password.
I follow Jenny on Instagram and she's so hilarious that I decided to see if her book was any good. It was really, really funny. She also has some comedy shorts online that you can see here:

She is a tad vulgar at times so beware!

Per GoodreadsDenmark is officially the happiest nation on Earth. When Helen Russell is forced to move to rural Jutland, can she discover the secrets of their happiness? Or will the long, dark winters and pickled herring take their toll?
A Year of Living Danishly looks at where the Danes get it right, where they get it wrong, and how we might just benefit from living a little more Danishly ourselves.

Jenny brought this book for me to read. I, naturally, loved the chapter on taxation. I love learning about new culture so I found this book really interesting. The author gets a little bogged down in talking to experts sometimes, but it was an educational, thought-provoking book.

Per Goodreads
In a witty and wonderful debut, first-time novelist Holly Chamberlin chronicles an eventful year in the lives of four thirty-something women who are navigating sex, singlehood, and the big city. 
I found this book at the condo's free library so I grabbed it for an easy beach read. That it was. It was fun to read a book set in Boston.

Last, but certainly not least, I brought this book for Jenny to read. Geraldine, my favorite blogger, wrote a hilarious book that I cannot lend out enough! Do yourself a favor and read her blog and buy her book here: http://www.everywhereist.com/all-over-the-place/
