What are you Reading?

Holy mole guys! It's June! Halfway through the year. I love this time of year. The weather, no classes, relaxing, vacations. But it is also... new planner time!

So exciting! I'm shooting for a Erin Chondren but we'll see what others I find that I like. Since it's officially summer I've been reading quite a bit and wanted to share what I've been reading/loving.

I love to know what other people are currently reading. I love getting recommendations from others.

The past few months I haven't had a ton of time to read because I had classes and clinical but classes got out in the beginning of May. So I now have time to read for fun.

This year I have been really into books about Buddhism. I was at Barnes and Noble today and I had a person ask me how I got into reading about Buddhism.

I had to think about it for a second but then I remembered Jhene Aiko had posted a few paragraphs on Instagram from a book that Buddhist/Zen master/peace activist Thich Nhat Hahn wrote and I needed to read more!

So over the past few months I've been reading a lot of Thich Nhat Hahn's books. They are amazing. The current one I am reading is The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching:


I like his books because they explain meditation, mindfulness, and Buddhism in a way we can understand in today's society. I also love learning about Buddhism and the Buddhist culture. He has books specifically on mindfulness, peace, happiness, anger, love and more. Just about everything.

Kind of like a self help book but it's not self help. Hope my recommendations can help you guys out. Post a comment letting me know what you're reading and what authors you recommend!
