Review: Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come by Jessica Pan

Publication Date: May 28, 2019

★★★.5

This was an interesting read. Admittedly, I was drawn to this book because of the pretty cover and colors 🙈 I would classify myself as a selective extrovert (lolol). Meaning I do get my energy from being around CERTAIN people, not just any group of people. At the same time I love being at home and being with my little family unit.

Ramble over...this book surprised me. I knew the author Jessica was going to work on being more extroverted and saying yes to things, but I feel like her journey was extreme. I did not expect her to do some of the things she tried, like stand-up comedy or having a surprise trip booked for her. Those are two things you will not find me doing. Ever. ðŸĪŠ

I enjoyed reading about Jessica's experience taking an improv class, and all the people she met during her extroverted year. I love that a common theme throughout her journey was that a lot of people are more introverted than they may present. It kinda makes you think!

I recommend this book just as a funny read about someone stepping out of their comfort zone, just know that some of her experiences are a little unrealistic (at least to this midwest mama!) ðŸŒŧ

Review: Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen

Publication Date: January 28, 2020

★★★★

"The people who stand out to me are the ones who have chosen to trust Jesus more than trusting their ability to make everything work out fine."

This book is great. It makes you think in a totally different way about when our minds wander. I just finished this book but I've already put into practice a lot of what Jennie talks about! This book helped me recognize when the enemy is trying to get to me, putting negative thoughts in my head (it happens more than we realize 😓). Thanks to this book I've been able to reroute my thought process and focus on the good, true things in life. PTL for that!
