love beauty thrive’s new monthly book feature series.

I’m so glad you could join me here, in the experience of impactful storytelling, growth, and meaningful conversation, one book (and perfect cup of coffee) at a time.

Here’s what I’m reading this month, the second selection in our book feature series.

Finding Freedom (2020)

Harry and Meghan and the Making Of A Modern Royal Family
OMID SCOBIE, CAROLYN DURAND

Get your copy of Finding Freedom.

“The first, epic and true story of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s life together, finally revealing why they chose to pursue a more independent path and the reasons behind their unprecedented decision to step away from their royal lives, from two top royal reporters who have been behind the scenes since the couple first met. Finding Freedom is complete with full color photographs from Harry and Meghan’s courtship, wedding, Archie’s milestones, and many more unforgettable moments.” – www.amazon.com.

BOOK TALK

I don’t often pre-order titles, but this was an exception. A highly anticipated release, I wanted this on my to-be-read shelf right away. To read their side of the incredible story that is their lives.

My curiosity was peaked with the speculation that Harry and Meghan themselves may have contributed to the writing of this book (in similar style to Diana: Her True Story). Although denied, their anonymous involvement and cooperation was strongly thought possible.

I hope you will join me this October in reading love beauty thrive’s second monthly book feature, Finding Freedom, by royal reporters Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand.

CHILDREN’S BOOKSHELF

I read with my children every night. This month, we are reading the hardcover, illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (fourth book of the series).

These stunningly beautiful editions of the Harry Potter books have gorgeous, full colour illustrations by award-winning artist Jim Kay (my kids are enthralled by the magical artwork).
