A Fabulous Find

Ever since posting my fall reading list I've been on the search for some good reading material. Last week at the library in the biograghy section I checked out the book, Martha Inc. expecting to learn about this talented lady who has really made a name for herself. After finishing about four chapters I plan on returning it to the library on our next visit. I found the book depressing and overly critical. I'm not trying to be naive about Martha Stewart. Although I appreciate her talent and use her suggestions in my homemaking I'm not unaware of her reputation. I don't have much of an opinion about her because I've never taken the time to learn about her. I have learned from checking out this book that if I want to learn and read someone's story it would be better for me to check out their autobiograghy as opposed to a biograghy.

Which brings me to my next book. Yesterday I told Rhett he could pick out a coloring book at the one dollar store. After he picked up his book I turned around and found this. I was so ecstatic to find a book worth reading at the one dollar store. Karen Hughes served as George Bush's communications director during his six years as governor of Texas. She was one of three people who ran his campaign and then served as counselor to him after he was elected president. After about a year and a half after seeing how hard her job at the white house was on her family she decided to move her family back home to Texas where she continues to advise the president. I remember hearing her speak a few years back at the Willow Creek Leadership Summit and have always wanted to read her book. I'm currently on chapter four and I highly recommend it.....as well as the one dollar store, you never know what fabulous finds might be awaiting you.
