Today is a lucky day, as you have the opportunity to win one of two copies of Tammy Strobel’s You Can Buy Happiness And it’s Cheap) How One Woman Radically Simplified Her Life and How You Can Too.
You may know Strobel from her blog, Rowdy Kittens, where she writes about downsizing, (or “smart sizing” as she terms it) minimalism, happiness, photography and her tiny house. She and I are friends in real life, although she recently moved away from Portland, so I guess we’ll have to start up on a false friendship. 
You Can Buy Happiness is Tammy’s personal story of how she went from a cluttered apartment and a mind numbing office job to living with very few possessions in her tiny house.
To enter to win this book, share in the comments section the last book that you read. Here, I’ll start. “The Man in The High Castle” by Philip K. Dick.
Please enter one time only, U.S. residents only. I will choose a winner Friday, October 26 at 9:00 P.M. PST.

I read a great graphic novel by my friend Martin Lemelman called “2 Cents Plain” about growing up Jewish in Brooklyn in the 50s and 60s. I tried to read The Tiger’s Wife after hearing much acclaim, but it coincided with my toddler needing to sleep on top of me, which pretty much eliminated before bed reading. So…back to the library. I couldn’t really get into it.
Thirty Seconds to Impact, about a plane crash that was averted by a shrewd pilot. As an aspiring pilot, I think it’s important to read about other pilot’s decision making process in emergencies!
