Summer reading list

 Flowers in a neighbor's garden

During the lazy days of summer, when it's too hot to do much outside or if you are going on vacation and want to have something interesting to read, you might enjoy one of these:

Savor: Mindful Eating, Mindful Life (Thich Nhat Hanh, Lilian Cheung)

An exploration into cultivating mindfulness in eating and everyday life.  

Turning Your Mind into an Ally (Sakyong Mipham and Pema Chodron)
I was introduced to this book during a class, and find it is a helpful resource if you are interested in exploring the basics of meditation,  Stories and simple guidelines are used to help you create a personal practice.

                                               

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle:  A Year of Food Life (Barbara Kingsolver)

Recommended by a friend, I'm looking forward to reading this account of a family's adventures of abandoning the commercial food pipeline for a year and living a rural life while growing their their own food or sourcing it from their own neighborhood.

Thunder in Her Body (C. B. Stanton)

If you want pure entertainment for a sultry summer day, this book is just the thing. A change from her usual non-fiction offerings, a long-time family friend has published her first novel.   Set in New Mexico, this book is a perfect romantic escape for mature readers. 

So pour yourself a tall glass of refreshing iced carrot ginger lemonade or whip up a decadent vegan malted frostie to sip while you sit back and enjoy a good book.

Thanks for reading!
