Books, Books, and More Books

Today, I am thankful for books. They provide us with knowledge, fantasy, and so much more.  The Bible, biographies, non-fiction, fiction, history, politics, the classics. Well, truth be told my least favorite to read is probably fiction, but there are a few that I like (mostly what are considered classics). Books are a great way to have some "me time" and escape. I especially love reading about old Hollywood actors and actresses. I just finished reading Cary Grant: A Touch Of Elegance written by Warren G. Harris. It was interesting, to say the least.

I have my Mom to thank for my love of reading. One of my favorite memories is of my Mom reading to me. When I was little we would read The Busy World of Richard Scarry, Little Critter, Little Golden Books, Disney Books, etc. I didn't always enjoy reading for "fun" while I was in college. I think it was because of the amount of required reading assigned for class, but now I find myself wanting to read often.

Here are some of my favorites:
The Bible
Wuthering Heights
To Kill A Mockingbird
The Hobbit
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
A Very Hungry Caterpillar
Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes
Dr. Seuss

What are some of your favorite books?

Until next time,
XOXO Amanda

  2. That is something we definitely share is our love of non fiction. I think it comes from our learner trait. I really enjoy reading your blog especially this month.
