What I’m Reading:

"Half Broke Horses" by Jeannette Walls. A true life novel about her grandmother's life told in first person-a fantastic book & highly recommended.

"Falling Angel" by William Hjortsberg. Ever see "Angel Hart" with Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet? Well this is the book it was based on-excellent!. The book made way more sense than the movie and was very well written.

"The Girl Who Chased the Moon" by Sarah Addison Allen. Another great book, she is one of my absolute favorite authors.

"The Peach Keeper" by Sarah Addison Allen. Excellent! She never fails to deliver a magical story.

"Wicked Appetite" By Janet Evanovich
I needed a break from non-fiction memoir type stuff and this was a nice silly read.

"Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Chua. Great book, I didn't know if I would like it but it was a quick read and (as a mom)makes you think!

"Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea" by Chelsea Handler. This is a book I have shelved a hundred times and finally brought home. I could really use a laugh!

The Challenge

The challenge started as a conversation with a friend. I had been reading books on going vegan and thought to myself, well of course they can do it, they are (fill in the blank) rich, single, young, in a city where they can find the ingredients or a restaurant to cook them. Of course it’s easy for THEM! I thought it would be more of a challenge if a 39 year-old wife and mother of two who lives in a small rural town in the South tried to go vegan in a carnivorous household-on the cheap. Challenge number one has been completed! Starting July 13th, I will start the "Crazy Sexy Diet" 21 day cleanse. Challenge number two is completed and I'm still here!
