I have a penchant for keeping more than one book on my nightstand and pick up whatever I\u2019m in the mood for.<\/p>\n

\"blink.jpeg\"<\/p>\n

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking<\/u> by Malcolm Gladwell \u2013 I\u2019ve been hearing a lot about this author and his books. (Blink is actually Gladwell\u2019s second book.) I\u2019m only into the second chapter and it\u2019s pretty intriguing. If you haven\u2019t heard of it, in Blink Gladwell examines how people are able to make snap judgments. Right\/correct ones, at that.<\/p>\n

\"ella<\/p>\n

Ella in Europe<\/u> by Michael Konik \u2013 A dog sitting in Paris with the Tour Eiffel in the background? Of course, I had to get it. It\u2019s actually the story of a Los Angeleno and his pooch Ella and their journey across Europe. I last left them off in Germany and though it\u2019s a cool thing to be able to bring your pooch with you to all these spectacular places, it\u2019s a bit tiring to hear how the author is still blown away that HIS dog is sitting here, peeing there, on a train\u2026etc. Geared more towards the American dog owner, since a European one wouldn\u2019t be phased by this at all.<\/p>\n

\"french<\/p>\n

French Women Don\u2019t Get Fat<\/u> by Mireille Guiliano \u2013 So far, I\u2019ve learned to drink champagne (hmm, isn\u2019t the author the CEO of Veuve-Cliquot?), frequent farmer\u2019s markets, cook with what\u2019s in season, and to not be afraid to spice things up, literally. There are some pretty good recipes in the book \u2013 I\u2019ll let you know if I make any of them.<\/p>\n

\"guide<\/p>\n

A Guide to Elegance<\/u> by Genevieve Antoine Dariaux \u2013 It seems a bit dated in the beginning. Something about white gloves\u2026anyway, it\u2019s a nice book to have since elegance never goes out of style.<\/p>\n
