This month I also read Girl, Wash Your Face, by Rachel Hollis. Rachel is one of my favorite people to follow on Facebook and Instagram, and I've read her fiction series and have her cookbook, so I was excited to read her first non-fiction book.
I'll be honest, I find a lot of books like this to be major eye rollers. But I really enjoyed this one. Rachel shares a lot about her family's experience with foster care and adoption, which I found interesting because I work in that field. She didn't have an easy childhood and graduated high school early so she could move on her own to LA, where she worked her way up in an event planning company until she could start her own, and now she owns a multi-million dollar media company. I appreciated her advice, and her motivation and determination is contagious.
That's it for me this month. I just started Laura Bush's book Spoken from the Heart, and I have War Brides on my nightstand to start. Any great recommendations?

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time sounds really interesting!
I can barely do dog stories at all, let alone this type of dog story (though I've heard good things about it!).
I read maybe half of War Brides awhile back...if you like WWII fiction, it's perfect.
I read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time back when it came out and loved it!
I'm reading Sourdough right now and it's starting off pretty good: https://www.amazon.com/Sourdough-Novel-Robin-Sloan/dp/0374203105
Is it wrong that I'm excited about staying in and reading all weekend?
In the category of foster care and adoption (but a novel): "The Language of Flowers," by Vanessa Diffenbaugh.
I've never really known what The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time was about, but am going to add it to my tbr now!
I've never heard of that Wash Your face book - that sounds like something I need to read myself.
I read The Curious Incident...years ago and really loved it! I'm glad to see you enjoyed it too.

I read Dog but it's been years now.
I usually roll my eyes a lot at those books too - I'm glad you liked it!
The thrift store is my favorite place to find books! The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time sounds interesting and so does Wash Your Face!
I am interested in Girl, wash your hair. I am not into those books that much, but this one seems different!
The second book sounds intriguing and I want to read laura Bush's book too.
I haven't heard of either of these books but they both sound interesting! :)
I had to analyse The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime in high school so I have very harsh feelings about it, haha! High school ruined so many books for me.
The Girl with 7 Names about a girl that fled North Korea is so good! Very interesting about the world of North Korea, especially since this is current history going on right now.
Both of these books sound great! I've heard the "The Curious Case of..." is also a very good and meaningful play, too. I'd definitely like to check that out! I've never heard of the other author but her nonfiction work sounds really interesting!
I loved The Curious Incident! I saw the play last year and it was incredible!
I have had the curious incident in my list to read for a long time. I really need to get to it!
I read Curious Incident years and years ago but it's one of those books that sticks with you. I do want to see the state adaptation.
