So in school, I was never a fan of reading. I think it was the whole...I'm feeling "forced to read something" thing. My rebel heart just wanted to yell Noooo! That, and I would rather be playing volleyball. I was a frequent buyer of Cliff Notes (thanks cliff...I owe you big time). And would always pray to do reports on the main characters because it was easier to get information on them without reading the book. I know, I may be ruining your image of me....but it's the truth people- vulnerability.
I have rebelled against required reading in all levels of my education, but as soon as the semester was over, I was always excited to pick up a book that I chose myself. I know....it's super selfish...but I like books that I get to choose. I'm including the last few books that I've read. You are not required to read them...but some of them are pretty good. You can curl up with a pumpkin spice latte, a soft blanket, and enjoy some reading while watching the leaves change...man I love fall!! Anyways, enjoy:
Ok say what you want...I'm a fan of Tim. I have pulled for the teams he's played on...and I hope he gets a job. This book was a little more about the play by plays of every one of his college games than I thought...but it was informative nonetheless...annnd it had that fun section in the middle of pictures. Side note...he also loves dogs (check!)
Tara Leigh Cobble has written several books....and let me tell ya....she gets me. She usually writes about a big event in her life (ex. moving somewhere) and tells about what she learned and how she's changed. I feel like we could be friends...like serious friends. In this book she talks about the prison garb we all tend to still wear even though we have already received freedom in Christ. It. Is. Good. Simple as that. You've done it again Tara Leigh.
7 tells about one woman's (Jen Hatmaker) journey to simply her life. She takes one month to focus on certain areas. One month she only ate 7 types of food, and another she wore only 7 articles of clothing. She talks about the struggles that go along with major habit changes and the things she's learned. It's a challenging book and better yet....she's hilarious.....like laugh out loud hilarious. And...she has a blog!
Ok....I know...I'm waaaayyy late to hop on this train....but I'm reading Harry Potter people. I feel like it's a big commitment. I mean...its a seven book series...yikes. But trusted friends have all but "required" this so I can watch the movies with them after I finish each book. That's right....I've never even seen the movies...did I just loose cool points?....I still own hipster glasses....does that help?? So far so good. It's an easy read and an fun story.
Well that's all I got so far. Hopefully my reading list can be a more scheduled thing on the blog. I'm sure you are dying to read everything I am...ha! Anyways...if you have some time, and you need a fun read....try one of these...and if you hate it....don't tell me. Have a great day!!
