Title: The Magnolia Story
Authors: Chip and Joanna Gaines with Mark Dagostino
Genre: Nonfiction. Autobiography. Business.
Recommended: If you love a good success story from people who deserve it. Perfect New Years read!
Breakdown: There's this show on HGTV called Fixer Upper. No one can stop talking about it, so the husband/wife construction/decor team are telling everyone their story. I'm eating it up!
Songs:
For When Chip and Joanna are dating: "Magnolia" by Eric Clapton (feat. John Mayer)
For Chip and Joanna are on their farm
For their baller status slow-mo walk into a new fixer upper:
I Don't Watch A Lot of HGTV. But When I Do, I Watch Fixer Upper
(Too bad it's off Netflix. Boo!)
If you haven't seen it, take a look.
Something about watching Chip and Joanna Gaines makes me want what they have. They are doing what they love...with the people they love. Who could ask for more? How can I get that?
I can't be the only one asking that question, so I completely understand the demand for "The Magnolia Story".
Living the Dream
This book is part love story, part passion tale, part business book. Joanna and Chip Gaines have smarts behind their screen appeal. They worked hard at what they loved. They learned from their mistakes. They kept going when times got tough. Theirs is a story worth knowing, especially if you want to get out of what Joanna calls "the 9 to 5 box".
I can always tell when a story is inspiring because it makes me want to have more for myself. As I listened to this book, I was jotting down notes and lists of projects and plans for my own life. This is the perfect read/listen for the New Year!
Audiobook
Read by the Gaines themselves, this book is adds depth and background to the stars of "Fixer Upper". I especially liked that Chip and Joanna read their story in tandem. It was very conversational. I felt like I was hearing their story firsthand.
