A Favorite Book

I really enjoy reading. Books have always been an escape for me and it's the one thing that Matt doesn't get mad when I buy. We buy them on most of our vacations, Disney included. A couple of years ago, my friend Lisa formed a book club, and I have loved the exposure to different types of books. Last year, for my birthday, Matt bought me a Nook. He really likes me! Here are a few of my favorites.

Favorite Children's Book:

Without question, this has got to be one of the best books ever written.


Favorite Memoir:

I don't care what 60 Minutes says, I love this book! And I firmly believe that if we spent even a fraction of the funds to educate girls that we spend to fight terrorists, our world would be a totally different place.


Favorite Historical Fiction:

You could really add any fiction related to biblical times, or ancient times, for that matter. Next up on my Nook is the new book about Cleopatra. Really looking forward to that one.


You could also add just about anything by Philippa Gregory, or any books about Medieval British History.


Now if I could only get my girls to catch the vision, life would be awesome!

After reading into The Hunger Games, I'm not sure whether or not to continue to take your advice. Leave me to Alexander McCall Smith and Maeve Binchy :) But you ARE right on with the children's books!
