March Round Up and Book of the Month


March's Book of the Month is Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes



I'm so surprised by March's book of the month! I'm not the biggest fan of non-fiction and I bought this on the recommendation of Sophie (she has the best taste in audiobooks!) and because I love Shonda's TV show How to Get Away With Murder. I fell in love with Shonda Rhimes, a person I knew very little about before reading Year of Yes, as I got to know her through this book. She's such an inspirational lady - especially to introverts who like to live in their head rather than in the real world like me. It's not often that I call a book life changing but Year of Yes was for me. This is a must read for anyone who loves books about smart inspirational women. I now have the biggest girl crush on Shonda! If you haven't let Shonda Rhimes into your life either via this book or one of her epic TV shows yet then you should.

Words cannot explain how much I love How to Get Away With Murder
