BRAVE-ish TOP TEN BOOK PICK

Thank you to Conde Nast Traveler, Women Who Travel BookClub and Blane Bachelor for including BRAVE-ish on your 10 New Books We Can’t Wait to Read This Fall last year!

One of the books high on my fall reading list is Brave-ish: One Breakup, Six Continents, and Feeling Fearless After Fifty, by Lisa Niver, an LA–based journalist. I can’t wait to dig into Niver’s honest account of how she transformed her life at age 47 by committing to doing 50 new things by the time she turned 50: diving with sharks and pulling 3-Gs while bobsledding, to name a few. I love inspirational books, especially when travel, adventure, and gutsy women are involved, so this is right up my literary alley. –Blane Bachelor, contributor

Thank you Blane and CNTraveler for the honor of being including on this list!
