Will Read For Fun


My husband can't understand how I can sit down and read a book for hours. I can tune everything out and go into my own little world. He doesn't understand how this is fun for me, but it is. It's the perfect way to unwind after a long day. Draw me a bath, light me some candles, hand me a book and I'm a happy girl.

Here's my list of must-reads for fall and winter. These have been on my bookshelf for weeks now and I have yet to read them. I buy more books than I can keep up with! My goal is to get these six read before I buy anymore:
  • The Ragamuffin Gospel: Manning
  • The Wedding: Nicholas Sparks
  • True Believer: Nicholas Sparks
  • Not a Fan: Kyle Idleman
  • Heaven is For Real: Todd Burpo
  • Bethenny Frankel: A Place of Yes
I figure that's as good a place to start as any. Have you read any of these?

I'm really looking forward to the Nicholas Sparks books, I love all of the books I've read of his so far. We are doing a study at church right now on the Not a Fan book, I'm about a chapter in and I am getting so much from it already. I like anything from Bethenny Frankel so I had to buy her book. My mother in law loaned me Heaven is For Real, I have heard its very good.

What will you be cozy-ing up to and reading this winter? Any suggestions? Let me know! :)

All My Love,
Lyndsay

  1. Yay, high five! Same here! My better half always calls me "bookaholic" and says I will be buried in a book-shaped casket...

    I LOVE to read! I NEED to read! It makes me forget worries and everything arounf me for a while.

    Right now I´m reading "50 shades..." yea, don´t judge me LOL

    Before that I read "The Wedding Girl" by Madeleine Wickham: I thought it would be easy chick-lit, but giiiiirl, it was great!! Was laughing out loud a couple of times!

    Are you on goodreads.com? If so, add me :) http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/9560238-anni

    1. No judgement here, I love the 50 shades books! If you like those, read bared to you by Sylvia day- just as addicting. :) I do have good reads, I will definitely find you on there. I'll have to pick up the wedding girl, it sounds good!

  9. My husband thinks the same thing. In fact he knows when I do finally get to sit down he and the kids are not to disturb me!!!
    I am presently trying to re-read the final Twilight Saga in anticipation for the movie. Its my thing. I do enjoy reading Nicholas Sparks too.
    I am following you now and would love for you to follow back.
