Not sure if I really need to go into detail. It was kind of difficult to get into,
but after the first chapter or two it picks up. For me, it was hard to keep all the characters straight. Once I finished the first one I
couldn’t wait to get to the next one and so on. But warning, these books are for the faint of heart.
It is certainly strange, because I have a tendency to read
books before I see their movie counterparts, but this was an exception. I LOVED the movie and was compelled to
read the book. As expected, there
was some difference, but I loved the book just as I did the movie.
Whatever you may believe or don’t believe, read this. I read it in one sitting because the
story was compelling and it’s a quick read. It’s the true story of a 4-year-old little boy who slips
from consciousness during emergency surgery and goes to heaven. The book is written by his father, but
is kept in the boy’s perspective as much as possible. It is pretty amazing.
This is an inspirational memoir about Tim Tebow’s life. His story has been filtered through
others, such as the media, and this is his chance to tell it himself. He has a unique story, starting at his
birth. He discusses his faith, his
family and his motivation. Tim is
a one of a kind man.
Amazing. See my
blog post [HERE].
This is the third series in the Baxter Family books. It includes: Sunrise, Summer, Someday,
and Sunset. It follows the lives
of the Baxter Family and Dayne and Katie.
This series includes: Take One, Take Two, Take Three, and
Take Four. It follows the lives of
two Hollywood producers, starting with them trying to make a movie that will
change the world. It intertwines
with the Baxter and Flanigan families in Bloomington, Indiana.
I’ve only read the first two books in the Bailey Flanigan
series. The third book, Longing
was recently release and Loving comes out in March. I love where this series is going and can’t wait to read
more. What will happen with Bailey
and Cody Coleman? Or Bailey and
Brandon Paul?
I read the “Single’s Edition” back in small group in
college, but loaned by copy out and never got it back. I bought the regular version on my Nook
and read it in a day or two. The
principles apply not only to marriage, but to any relationship. I think it’s a book that everyone
should ready. My top love
languages are Physical Touch and Quality Time, I think they differ by one
point. The other “languages”
include Words of Affirmation, Receiving Gifts and Acts of Service. We all receive love in different
ways. This book explains each
language and the ways people give and receive love through each one.
Just read it.
OKAY?!
Freebie from Nook.
It’s the first of a trilogy about three sisters. This one is about Joan who is 25 and
living at home with her mom and grandma.
Her life is stuck, but once a young doctor moves in next-door things
start to change. With some help
from her sister Allie, a big dog and God she starts to find her way.
This was another freebie. What’s with getting free books that are part of a
series? It makes me want the others. This was a fun one, set in 1929, the
end of the roaring twenties. Letty
and Cordelia escape from their small Midwest town to New York. Letty wants to be a star and Cordelia
wants to find her long lost father.
One more freebie, but this is a standalone. The author made it free to download as
an ebook to help raise awareness about human trafficking, which is the subject
of the book. Jessie’s worked the
streets for 14 years, but Gabe, an undercover cop, comes along and offers her
love and a future. It was a really
fast read.
I’m currently in the middle of Wuthering Heights. Next on my list is to re-read The
DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, Cold Tangerines and Bittersweet both by Shauna
Niequist. I really want to read
through all the books on my Nook.
Do you have any recommendations of books to add to my list?
