I'm glad you're enjoying my blog. It's great to have you along on this adventure. This is quite an eclectic group of books. That's what makes reading (and life) so interesting. Thanks for sharing your favs. Thanks, Kimberly. I’m glad you’re enjoying my blog. It’s great to have you along on this adventure. This is quite an eclectic group of books.

I have a huge list of favorite books but I narrowed it down to 6 for ya! 1. My New King James version study Bible- God. (I swear every time I open it something I need to harness jumps out at me and almost slaps me in the face. Lol) 2. To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee (Loved this one every since I read it in 3rd grade. It seems like every time I reread this I learn something new about the characters and how it truly relates to my life.) 3. Mere Christianity/ The Screw tape letters- C.S. Lewis (These two go together to help prove the point that C.S. Lewis was trying to get across. I have only read these twice but they have impacted my life so much and helped me on my journey) 4. Where the Red Fern Grows- Wilson Rawls (makes me cry every time. Love it so much even still.) 5. The Essential Rumi- Rumi (I think we can all learn a lesson from this one ;)) 6. 23 minutes in hell- Bill Wiese (not for the faint of heart but greatly recommend for everyone. This one opened my eyes immensely to the fact that there is a hell and I don't want to go there) Yeah, I know it's a weird mix of books but all of them have changed my life in some way. I love this exercise! Thank you so much for the wonderful post. I am now a new follower of your blog. Please stop by mine sometime and give it your good two cents for I could use the knowledge of someone like you. I'm a newbie and will take all the feedback I can get! Love what you are doing and keep up the great work. I can't wait to read more and receive your new posts via email. Much love and abundant blessings, Kimmy Becky, I am loving your blog!

These are great, Britton. Thanks for sharing your favorites. I haven't been able to get inspired to pick up The Hunger Games (based on descriptions), but everybody I know loves the trilogy.
