When I read the synopsis of The Matzah Ball, it sounded so cute that I downloaded it immediately and devoured it. I was flipping through my December issue of Good Housekeeping when they suggested three new holiday books. The second book I read this month ended up being my favorite Christmas book of the season which is ironic because it was about… Who knew I needed a bit of Katie in my December? Not me, but I loved it! If you’re an autobiography fan too, grab this one. I laughed, I cried, I respected her, I was shocked by what she said, I could not put her book down. And then I sat on the edge of my seat soaking up every detail of the Matt Lauer part (whoa). I legit cried when she talked about her husband dying of cancer at such a young age. I loved the middle part when she talks about her husband and being a mom. I loved the first third of the book when she describes her childhood, road to college and early years as a struggling journalist. I didn’t “know” her before, but now that I’ve read this book, I feel like we could be friends. It was very vulnerable, quite juicy and jaw dropping. She seems bubbly and likeable, very smart and yet down to earth, I’ll read about you. I mean…I know nothing really about her other than she was on TODAY and widowed with two young girls. I am super into autobiographies and pretty much will read any of them (hello, Blondie book that I’m still not quite sure why I read…), so when several of you suggested I pick up Katie Couric’s newest memoir, I was all in. I devoured her new autobiography Going There. So, let’s start with the two books I enjoyed this month… Today, I’m going to recap the two books I read in December to finish off my year and then, I’ll name my TOP THREE BOOKS OF 2021. I felt like my months ran either hot or cold. I read several books I really loved and honestly, for whatever reason, this year, I read many I didn’t love. I read some mystery and some suspense, I read several autobiographies and memoirs, my fair share of chick lit and some really great works of fiction too. Reading is my favorite hobby, but I truly love it so much more because I get to share it with YOU! I love spending my time waiting at doctors appointments, in carpool line, early in the morning or late at night with a book. That is a lot of blog content year after year, and this post right here is always, without a doubt, my absolute favorite. I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again, each year, I blog about 500 posts.
