What was the last book you read and truly savored? (You know, one that you never wanted to finish because you enjoyed the process of reading it more than you cared about knowing the end.) Up until about a week ago, my answer to this question was “40 Rules of Love” by Elif Shafak. When I finished “40 Rules of Love,” I thought about it for days and days and days. I envied people who hadn’t read it yet because they got to read “40 Rules of Love” in all of it’s wonder for the first time. Over this past week I found myself savoring “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert as much as I did Shafak’s novel.

I have had “Big Magic” for 7 days and am only on page 25. This is unusual for moi considering I tend to speed read through books that I’m excited about. So far, I can’t tell you what it is exactly about this book that is causing me to put my speed reading habits aside except for the fact that the message is beautifully empowering. I’ll figure out in detail why it resonates with me so much one of these days but for now, if you are in need of some shiny new inspiration – check Elizabeth Gilbert’s new book out.
