Author: Ross Gay
Who Picked the Book: Lindsay
One-sentence summary: A collection of essays written daily with the purpose of finding and elaborating on delights found in everyday life.
B.A.D. Girls Book Rating: 7
Our favorite thing about it: It's fun and interesting to read about where others find daily delight.
Our least favorite thing about it: The writing style could be meandering at times.
Main Topics of Discussion: Bathroom breaks (!), Daily Practices, Food, Gratitude vs Delight
Our favorite quote: "Our delight grows as we share it."
Notes: We all enjoyed this book. We identified with finding delight in every day. Especially as a purposeful practice. It was interesting to see delight from another person's perspective. The essays were mostly short, but the sentences sometimes wandered around before getting to the point. This book of essays was probably best enjoyed as an audiobook. We also appreciated how this habit could change your outlook on life in a positive way. Most of the delights were not huge, deep insights. Most were light hearted, ordinary delights, which we loved. There were some insights, but not too deep.
Memorable Meeting Moments: This was Lindsay's meeting and she took us to Houlihan's for a St. Patrick's themed dinner. We had dinner and dessert there and then spent the rest of our meeting time at CARE church in the atrium.
What We Ate: Scallops, Salmon, Chicken, Pot Roast, creme brûlée, flourless chocolate cake, and salted caramel gooey butter cake
