Parenting with hope and humor, by Christian Author and Speaker, Jenn Doucette
"The love of learning,
the sequestered nooks,
and all the sweet serenity of books"
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
What's on the nightstand:
Three Weeks with My Brother, by Nicholas Sparks and Micah Sparks
Maybe you and I share some reading interests. Check out some of my favorites below and let me know what you
think.
Have you ever noticed. . . .
*That you love the smell of libraries?
*That you have a hard time picking (only) one favorite book?
*That the movie is NEVER as good as the book?
*That your heart starts to race every time you pass a bookstore?
If you answered "yes" to all four questions, welcome aboard and congratulations! You're a fellow book fanatic.
A reading junkie, so to speak. Check out some of my all-time favorites below (hey, it was too hard to just
pick ONE!).
Do you have a book you'd like to recommend to me? I'm always looking for my next fix -- er I mean book. Drop
me a note, I'd love to hear from you!
