My life in 30 days, day 23 = A picture of your favorite book

Wow this is legit hard. Of course my favorite book is this:

The Holy Bible will always be my favorite book, it contains no mistakes. Every single passage in the Bible is there for a reason. It is truly a beautifully written book and instruction manual for life itself.

Favorite books within the Bible? Ruth, 1 Samuel (Currently reading), Psalms, Proverbs, Genesis, and Luke.

Other favorite books? Sure!

Redeeming Love. By Francine Rivers. It is based on the book of Hosea in the Bible. I could NOT put this book down!

Another book I really couldn’t put down. The Atonement Child. Also by Francine Rivers.. you just have to read it. Seriously.

Okay you knew this one was coming and I don’t care what you think of me after I say it….

The Twilight Saga. By Stephanie Meyer. I believe these books are well written for being about vampires, werewolves, and teen love. I love them and I have enjoyed the movies as well.

Okay, 2 more:

Julie and Julia ! This is an inspiring book about cooking AND blogging. It is also a movie. Can you tell I read books then watch the movie? I am always disappointed by the movie. (I was especially disappointed by My Sister’s Keeper.. the movie was NOTHING like the book *sigh*)

My Life in France by Julia Child. Wow, I loved this book as well! Julia Child really knows how to weave together good food and a full and happy life. She wrote so vividly, I could imagine myself in France at a market. . . !

 

I think that is all for books, though I know I have read so many good books that I should be writing a book about good books. I ADORE reading. In fact, I received a $50 gift card to Barnes and Noble for Christmas and I CANNOT wait to use it!!

I just finished this book:

and this one:

🙂

Reading is definitely my ‘guilty pleasure’ or my ‘me time’ where I zone out and truly relax. When I ‘splurge’ it is usually on books or running shoes. I tell my parents it’s better than splurging on beer or something else that is unproductive :p!!!

 

This weekend has absolutely flown by and I just realized I start my spring semester tomorrow at 9AM! I am kind of excited, but don’t tell anyone ;)!!

Tomorrow = Speech class and Strength training class. Then work from 5-7PM (YAY MY SHOULDERS GET A BREAK FROM SWIMMING !!!) I also might be seeing a high school friend before she leaves for her college! Woo hoo!

Also, I am making dinner tomorrow, here is a preview:

The recipe is from A Taste of Home

Black Bean and Cornmeal pie! I have never made it before, but I have made a turkey pot pie with a biscuit topping. This is kind of like beans with a corn bread topping baked in the oven 🙂 I didn’t realize it, but my house will now be participating in Meatless Monday ! Go Smith’s!!!

What is a good book?!?!
