Read Any Good Books Lately?

As you might have read on my Hobbies homepage I have become a fan of reading. Weird for my age, actually. But it’s fun and I do enjoy it. I try to make it through one or two books a month with all of my other activities. But this summer I have made it through a lot more than that. It’s kind of my downtime thing, when i’m babysitting, waiting in a doctor’s office, before brother’s baseball games, etc. This summer started off with the Love Comes Softly series:

One of my absolute favorite series i’d have to say. Mainly because of the memories from watching the movies with my grandma, but also because of the story line. It’s the perfect “olden days” western time story. Click to get Love Comes Softly (Love Comes Softly Series, Book 1) for yourself!

And click to get the movie! Seriously, you won’t regret it. Plus, Katherine Heigl is in it. You can’t go wrong. I definitely recommend either reading the book or watching the first movie and then you will fall in love with this old love story.

I recently just finished the second book, Love’s Enduring Promise (Love Comes Softly Series #2).

It’s already kind of wrinkled because I look my copy with me everywhere. I can’t wait to finish the rest of the series. I’ve seen the movies so many times! Here’s Love’s Enduring Promise movie link.

In between the Love Comes Softly books I read the famous The Fault in Our Stars book. It’s a must read and must see in theaters. #1 everywhere.

And of course, because Nicholas Sparks is wonderful, I had to throw in one of his books to my mix. I usually watch movies before I read the books (Yes, I am backwards) and that’s how I came across the book. If you don’t already have a copy of A Walk to Remember, get it!!!

Or the movie.
And the last bit of my summer reading, so far…goes to this book, 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death and Life.

I happened to find this book for a fantastic sale, but I found it for you for about $8. So worth every penny. There’s a lot of skepticism with this book but I actually found it to be rather uplifting and informational.

This one and Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back
should be on your summer reads. There are frequently bought together. Also, Heaven is For Real was in theaters. Yet again another book and movie combination for you. If you are ordering you get free shipping after spending $35, wahoo!
