6/25/2023 Ten Things I Wish I'd Known--Before I Went Out Into the Real ... by Maria ShriverRead Now![]() Each and every one of the points she’d made in this book (even the ones about marriage and kids, which I’m further from than anything) hit home. She was approached afterwards to turn it into a book and I can definitely see why. What Maria states in this book was originally a commencement speech she’d given at a college. Why read it now, you ask? Well, I cleaned off my bookshelves because I’m short on space and said ‘why not?’ ![]() And for years I just kind of brushed it aside and let it collect dust. My mom bugged me for the longest time (we’re talking years here) to read this book because she thought I’d get some use out of it. Same size and shape as the other impulse books but the message is much more resounding, poignant and literal, regardless of the fact it’s told by a Kennedy (for those that don't like the family). Most of them are just the types of things you read, go ‘oh, that’s nice’ and tuck away on your shelf. While I’m convinced my mom’s trying to tell me something with one of the religious ones she gave me (she said she had no idea), they do carry some nice, short reads. Well I’ve amassed a small collection of them thanks to my mom over the years and I’ve just now started reading them (bad daughter, I know). Sometimes they have cute pictures of animals in them or they’re filled with jokes. ![]() They’re usually uplifting or inspirational. You know the ones: you’re waiting in the check-out line at Barnes and Noble and they’re on the turnstile right next to you. My mom gets me these impulse buy books all the time. ![]()
