My ADHD Book Club
This summer, I have a goal to read. Sounds silly, right? I own a bookstore for Pete’s sake.
The truth is that as a mom to two young kids and a small business owner, one navigating a recent ADHD diagnosis, sustained silent reading has been more challenging than I thought possible.
So. My goal this summer is to read some bestsellers from the past few years.
Currently Reading
I have been slowly making my through Smoke and Ashes, Opium’s Hidden Histories, by Amitav Ghosh. I am curious about the history of India and a good friend recommended this book as a starter.
I need a dictionary and an atlas by my side, and I’ve had to renew it three times from the local library, but it’s been so worth it.

Holy smokes, I loved this book so much. I was not prepared for any of it. I read for TWO HOURS past my bedtime just to finish it. GLORIOUS
