Good Reads

Ahh, there is nothing like sitting down with a good book & diving in for an adventure.  However, I have been enjoying my books in a very different way.  I never thought that I would enjoy listening to books on a reader.My lady from the commission for the blind that has been coming & helping me.  Got me this reader.  I have been having the worst headaches from reading.  I really struggle with the small print.  So, now I can listen to any books I want.  I am loving it.  I have listened to at least 15 since Christmas.





So, I wanted to share a few of my favorite books.


I love it when I get so into a book that I feel they are a part of me and that is how this book felt.  These people in Guernsey are my friends.  They are also, a part of me!  Love them!


Oh, this book was so good!  I love the spunk of Lily.  She was a take charge little gal & she was willing to see beyond what she had & moved on to find a better life for herself.  So Good!


Oh, this is one that I cannot say too much about!  I finished it last week & I'm ready to start it again.  I can say that I LOVED every minute of this book.  This is another book, where I found some friends & I think that I found a part of myself in both Skeeter & Minnie.  I  will recommend this one to everyone!  All I can say is LOVE, LOVE! LOVE!

I have come to really enjoy Debbie MacComber.  Hers are easy reads & usually with a good story of women & relationships.  This is one of a group of women who took a college journaling class, none of them knew the other & they become friends & wanted to keep each other in their lives.  Some are a little older with grown children where there is one that is in her late 20's & not married yet.  I love how they are a support group for each other & how each one can help the other in one way or another.  This just goes to show that women truly need women.  I really enjoyed it!



Oh, Hunger Games.  I have to say that at first I thought it was very weird.  The more I got into it the more I enjoyed it.  It was a very different read for me.  Usually, I don't enjoy the fantasy or scify.  But, this sucked me in .  However, I did not enjoy Catching fire as much as this one & I am about 1/3 of the way through Mocking Jay.  So, I've got to keep going & see what I think with this one.

Right now, I am currently listening to The Shack.  I have to say that I am enjoying this one.  More stressful & different. But, I it has sucked me in.  I'll let you know what I think of it.

There is nothing like a good book.  It can take you into another world.  
And I have to say that I LOVE a good read or in my case a good listen!
