November Book Club...Challenge Your Mind!

Anything Oprah can do, I can do Better...

November Book Club: Reading Our Way to the Top!

The Fountainhead:
Get it Here for Cheap

There is no feeling to describe the amazing ability the power of a great book has over us. Books have the ability to paint visual landscapes, put us in scenarios and adventures that explore gray areas, and provide us with the ability to challenge and understand different perspectives. The Trendy Kendie Book Club is created to read and evaluate all different genres of literature, and I am very open to book suggestions and commentary. 

I have always wanted to participate in a Book Club, because I generally like to discuss and explore different perspectives and ideals. Since, I am no longer in school, it would be nice to continue the class tradition of spreading different views...so, I decided to create my own! There is nothing better than the smell of a freshly opened book and the feeling of dissecting an author's brilliant masterpiece.

Wanna Break it Down?? Lets start with the Trendy Kendie November Book Club Launch. My favorite book of all time is, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, and I thought I would choose our first book by the same author, The Fountainhead (Pre-Atlas Shrugged). I would like to begin our book club November 1st and discuss different portions of the novel throughout November. Gimme a shout if you are going to participate!! That way, I'll know how many people are joining the club!

Zombies Eat Your Brains Out...

NOM, NOM, NOM!! Can't Touch This!

Zombies Attack!

WOW, what a super-fun-great Event!! I hope you didn't miss out and survived the Zombie Challenge with all of your brain intact?! I am so glad that I had the opportunity to check out Renaissance Park, and I have to say, it's pretty sweet and packed with fun stuff (trails, golf, picnic areas, tennis courts, softball fields, and pretty much the works)! I plan on running some of their trails in the future...as, I have become accustomed to the woods after getting lost multiple times while off-trailin' in hopes of keepin' my brains, what's left of 'em!!

Don't forget your costume...makes for a way more funnnn race!

I will definitely try this Challenge out again next year!! I loved being a human, because the feeling of being chased by Zombies is pretty nice for the ol' adrenaline rush and running speed!

A Market for Hipsters...Ain't Stoppin' Me!

Where Hipster Meets Local Gal!

I'll take a Beer with My Skinny Jeans!

The Common Market

I don't care what people say, the Hipster Kids got it goin' on!! I know they cry often, dress funky, and love a miserable time...but for once, they got it right with, The Common Market, located right in the heart of South End Charlotte. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!

The Common Market is stocked with a great Wine & Beer selection, super yummy food (breakfast, soup, salads, sandwiches, wraps, sides) all made with quality ingredients...a lot of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options as well. They have a bunch of really unique snacks, chocolate bars, cupcakes, side salads, and drinks...like trendy and cool?? It hit the nail on the head. Like Live Music?? Pop your bottle right at the counter and step outside for a patio filled with eclectic tables, chairs and people...if you time it right, a great DJ or Musician will serenade you while you get your buzz on!

I love the Tree Hugger Wrap, Handsome Henry's Grilled Cheese, and don't forget to wash it all down with a Hoptimus Prime!! Finnniiisssshhhhh HEEEERRRRRRR!!!

A little bit of market, goes a long way! Enjoy!!
