Do Something Good
My Something Good this week is a two part-er that revolves around summer reading (because why not?).
First up, is Barack Obama’s Summer Reading List! Gosh I miss him and his reading lists. This year’s list (which actually came out a few weeks ago) had a theme though and it revolved around his trip to Africa. There were a few books that I remember from reading in high school, but I honestly don’t really remember that well. Reading through the list would be a great opportunity for anyone to brush up!
Second, Lin-Manuel Miranda is publishing a book! Gmorning, Gnight! will be a compilation of Miranda’s daily tweets and inspirations for his followers. It’s available for preorders now and comes out on October 23, 2018.
On Something Good
- A new outfit post and some serious questioning.
- July’s budget was a good reminder about the importance of budget tracking.
- My love of Tailwind is still just as strong, especially with all of the tools they keep putting out!
- A new book review about a woman who loves to win.
