BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS AND MORE BOOKS

 Did someone say books?  I'm all yours.

Fiction, non-fiction, historical fiction, religious, self-help, and sci-fi/fantasy....if it's a good read, I'm ALL in.  Always.

I'm even so nerdy about my books that I have a small book in the drawer in my nightstand that I keep track of all the books I've read since 2000.  Then I can re-read the ones I loved and have forgotten or just give a good reference to someone who might be looking for a good read.

Books help me make sense of the world.  Which isn't very easy sometimes.  I like the little nuggets of wisdom tucked inside the pages.  They help me understand my own thoughts and feelings.  Sometimes, a good author can say something that I'm feeling but somehow couldn't express.  It's wonderfully satisfying.  I feel connected.

Books bring joy into my life.  

Here's a list of a few of my favorites:

The Christ Who Heals-Terryl and Fiona Givens

 The Hiding Place-Corrie Ten Boom

Les Mis-(Abridged version) Victor Hugo

One More River to Cross Series

A Long Way From Chicago-Richard Peck

The Endurance- C. Alexander

Infinite Atonement-Tad Callister

Secret Life of Bees-Sue Monk Kidd

Rebecca-Daphne Du Marier

Mere Christianity-CS Lewis

Life of Pi-Yann Martel

And there's at least 100+ more that I could add to that list.  But for the sake of space and time, I won't bore you.
