If you read just one book this year, make it The Creative Family by Amanda Blake Soule. This one has been out for about a year, but I am just now discovering it because I live under a rock. I happened to notice many of you who follow Inner Child Fun also follow Amanda’s blog (Soule Mama), and that is what led me to her book. Just how good is this book? Good enough to make even the biggest tightwad like myself want to go out and buy it. And I will. That is, if no one buys it for me first (hint, hint, Mark).
Let me preface this book review by explaining that I rarely purchase new books. After all, why buy new books, when there are
so many alternatives. Although Amazon sells The Creative Family for the BARGAIN price of just $10.17 and it is eligible for FREE shipping on purchases of $25 or more, I still wanted to check it out first. Like a true frugal zealot, I went to my local library to borrow The Creative Family. I was disappointed to find out that it was not in the library’s catalog, but I requested an inter-library loan figuring the book would be in my hands in about a week or so. Then I found out that there were no libraries in the area that have The Creative Family. How could they not have it??? So I put in a purchase request, and waited. And waited. And waited some more.
Finally, after over a month of waiting and much anticipation, the book came in and was ready for me to pick up. Oh, happy day! I went home that night, and after tucking the girls in bed, went off to enjoy this tasty book.
Let me tell you — I could not put this one down. I read The Creative Family from cover to cover, devouring all of its beautiful contents, original ideas, and delicious photographs. I stayed up all night reading it and finished the entire book in one sitting. Beautiful. Inspiring. Fabulous. With the added benefit of being quite frugal!
