Today I'm catching up from a weekend of not being prepared for the blog challenge :) Haha! For some reason my mind cannot handle the idea of blogging on the weekend, but I'm going to try and be more prepared for next week. And today is a perfect day to skip and replace with Sunday's prompt. Here's why: Today's prompt is music that moves you. You may think I'm crazy.. but I rarely listen to music. I kind of forget it's an option for life, which is so odd haha! In the car I listen to podcasts or pray in silence. I
do like music, and have several artists that I really enjoy.. but I'm not someone who fully connects to music. I know. I'm weird.
I do however read books, so let's look at Sunday's prompt:
What's on your current reading list? Or what have you read that you'd recommend?

I actually shared a recent reading list
here.
The books that were on this list were:
- The Duck Commander Family
- The Women of Duck Commander
- Jesus > Religion by Jefferson Bethke
- Hands Free Mama by Rachel Macy Stafford
- The Antelope in the Living Room by Melanie Shankle
- Sparkly Green Earrings by Melanie Shankle
- The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller
But of course I've veered off course. I recently began reading You and Me Forever by Francis Chan and his wife, and read two fiction books in just a few sittings after being intrigued by movie previews. I read Should I Stay? by Gayle Foreman and the sequel, Where She Went by the same author. They were easy reads and I enjoyed them both a fair amount. Not something I would be a lifelong fan of and enthusiastically recommend to someone, but I did really enjoy reading them.
I like to read both a fiction and nonfiction book at the same time.. so does anyone have a "fun book" recommendation? :)
Gosh, I love Jefferson Bethke. Haven't read his book yet, though. I'm not sure if my recommendation is a "fun book", but I absolutely LOVE it. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0529116871/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
ReplyDeleteDon't let the title fool you. It's all about showing God's love in practical ways. Since I've read a few books by authors you mentioned above, I'll be checking out the rest of your list!
I just read if I stay too! I've become a big fan of audio books. My commute is 30min there and 30min home so it's been perfect to "read" those fun little books like If I Stay.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to hear what you thought about the rest of the books on your list because I've considered a few of those.
OOOH I've only read like half of these, so I've written down the others to put on my list! LOVE me a book list. Mine is never ending, but that's just the way I like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for suggesting Gayle Forman! I've been wanting to read her book If I Stay since there is a movie coming out. I'll have to check out her other books!
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend the book Edenbrooke. And easy, quick, historical novel. Definitely one of my new favorites.
ReplyDeleteMy book club read Orphan Train a few months ago and I loved it!!! It's great historical fiction! Also, I made your spaghetti squash casserole tonight. So good!! My husband said it was one of his favorites!
