![]() ![]() There were some really interesting ideas in there, too. But it was an enjoyable read, and the exercises at the end were useful to clarify priorities in life, which can then inform how we choose to spend our money. This book wasn't quite as useful to me as 168 Hours, simply because as a family we are on top of our finances, thanks to my fabulous hubby who actually likes that sort of thing. What I liked about this book was that it was far more about the *philosophy of money* and what it could do for you, more than tactical tips about budgeting or doing crazy frugal things like washing out Ziploc bags for reuse (which she does talk about but in a different context.) Her writing is crisp and clear and the examples and stories were again relevant and useful, like in her previous book, 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think. ![]() I devoured it in a few hours which is pretty remarkable because I am really not into reading personal finance books. ![]() Laura Vanderkam was nice enough to provide me with a copy of her book, All the Money in the World: What the Happiest People Know About Getting and Spending. ![]()

Secrets in the Storm (By:Susan Page Davis) A Quilt of Memories (By:Kristin Eckhardt) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm going to tell you right now that this was exactly the YA contemp book I needed. ![]() I also didn't like how it was too romance-centric. So yeah, I've been carefully avoiding contemporary YA because I didn't like the whole whymsical approach towards death type thing that's been going on nowadays. I only reread books when they're a series, and I need to catch up on what happened so I can finish said series.Īnyways, I digress. Which I won't, cause I just don't feel like it. I know that once upon a time, I gave TFiOS five stars, but I don't doubt that my opinion would change if I reread it. But with contemporary I don't want anything that's all whymsical and shit. I love fantasy YA, of course it's all I've read in the past several months. When I read contemporary YA, I want something real. You could argue that that's been a part of contemporary YA for a long while, but I feel like The Fault in Our Stars really ignited it into what it is now. I've kinda been avoiding contemporary YA because, even though I haven't read many of the new stuff, there seems to be a common thing going on where authors are exploring death in a kinda quirky, lyrical type of way, mixing it in with surrealism and wit and charm and whatnot.
