Reading: #girlboss

I have a secret (Jess, it's not a secret when you post it on your BLOG). Right. I had a secret.

I purchased a Kindle Paperwhite.

Actually, my dad purchased it for me, so gifts can't be guilty.

Since working in bookstores for a good 3-4 years, I've tried to wage a war against Amazon.com because they admit to their goal of putting brick and mortar bookstores out of business. What A-Holes.

However, I live in a world where I no longer run a bookstore and can purchase any book I want at cost. #sad

My parents came to visit and I lusted over Mommasita's Paperwhite and viola! Dad gave me one.

I have been reading veraciously ever since. Picture a lion devouring a book, gnawing on the cover, rubbing the pages [or screen?] lovingly up and down its cheek...  stopping there.

Anyway, I have been up to a lot of reading and I feel like I have been reunited with an old friend. It is just an old friend that is deceptive and works for an evilly- brilliant company that is set on world domination.

Whatever.

Back on topic. I read #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso.

My two cents:

What an amazing woman. She tells her story, albeit rather crudely, about working her ass off, maintaining focus, and not even realizing how big her company was going to be until... it was BIG. American success story.

Not a piece of literature that I would send to my grandma, but maybe something I'd send to my 18 year old sister. She likes clothes and hashtags.

Recommend it, I do (says Yoda).

Love love.
