I wasn't ever really much of a reader growing up, maybe because I had to read for school and to read for pleasure just didn't exist. But, I love to read now! I love inspirational, spiritual, fiction, and romantic books. I thought I would let you in on my latest find...
My mother-in-law got me a book called "Redemption" by Karen Kingsbury and Gary Smalley, it is part of a series (The Redemption Series). I read it, loved it, and went to get the rest! I am almost finished with the third ( I have a problem of starting several books at the same time so sometimes it takes me a while to finish) there are five in the series. I keep thinking that it is going to get slow and boring, but she really keeps you wanting more! It is inspirational, spiritual, fiction, and romantic! My favorite combination! This is my first time reading her work and I want to read every book she ever wrote. I haven't met anyone who doesn't love them. I need to give some credit to Gary Smalley too, I am eager to read some of his books as well.
I am also loving the devotional "Jesus, 90 days with the One and Only" by Beth Moore. It is great for busy people because there isn't much homework and it is like a nice wind down for evenings before bed.
I have a GIANT book list, I have a goal to read 8 books by Easter. Hoping by letting others in on my goal I will actually do it. I hate when I say I will do something and start out real strong and then fall off. It gets on my own nerves. So, I will let you know when I finish!
If you have favorite books, comment and tell me! I love to hear peoples favorites!

I've got books coming out of the wazoo. Stacks all over the place. Jaden is worried I may be swallowed by them all one day. I'm currently reading Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. Kayla recommended it.
I think you'd really like it and the Mark of Lion series by Francine Rivers....it will make you weep, out loud!
Of course, there are all my other books I've started and given up on. I stared Gone with the Wind...it's wordy and long. I started and almost finished Alice in Wonderland. I don't like it all!! I dislike the way it's written and it makes me not want to watch the new movie coming out. Disappointing.
Ummm..."Redeeming Love" is my absolute favorite book ever! I have read it 2.5 times! (I didn't finish it the third time) It is what I always recommend!
As for "Alice in Wonderland" I already don't want to watch the movie. It seems to be a totally different story, like a sequel. I am not a fan of most sequels, especially Disney movies.
I'm really enjoying Redeeming Love. It's beautiful. I long for a day that I can just sit and read with out a distraction. I absolutely love getting wrapped up in a story. It's one of my favorite experiences. :)

The Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker
