I AM THANKFUL #9

I am very thankful for many things, including good books. I love to sit down and read and imagine in my head what the characters look like and how you would pronounce their names. Some of my all time favorites are also popular too.

Twilight of course, tops my list, though I do not love the movies. The books are very captivating and ones that I can never put down. I read The Host by Stefanie Meyers as well, which was very different. I will probably continue reading some things that she writes.

Harry Potter is brillantly written and an easy read. I have read them twice and would love to read them again.



I love the Fablehaven series, although this book "Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary" is really my favorite one of the series. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the book. I definitely recommend this series if you haven't read it before.


This is one of the most recent ones that I picked up at the library, but will soon be buying (or receiving for a Christmas gift for those who are reading this!!!). This one captivated me. With short chapters, a journal paragraph in each chapter, and unexpected twists, I read this one in just one day. It is part of a series. The next book comes out April 2011. Below, it a short summary taken from the author's website. The most inspiring book I have ever read.


What would you do if you lost everything—your job, your home, and the love of your life—all at the same time? When it happens to Seattle ad executive Alan Christoffersen, he’s tempted by his darkest thoughts. A bottle of pills in his hand and nothing left to live for, he plans to end his misery. Instead, he decides to take a walk. But not any ordinary walk. Taking with him only the barest of essentials, Al leaves behind all that he’s known and heads for the farthest point on his map: Key West, Florida. The people he encounters along the way, and the lessons they share with him, will save his life—and inspire yours.
