Books I Loved as a kid (and still do)

The other night I was going through my little ones books and I started thinking about how much of a role books played in my life as a child. I read all the time, my mom said that when I would get in trouble she would take the TV and phone away but I wouldn't care because I would just read and she didn't feel like she could take reading away....Lucky me.

I used to stay up until sometimes 2 or 3 am trying to finish a story. I would have my little flashlight and bottle cap glasses on flying through each page. Some of my favorite Children books are The Rainbabies, anything Mercer Mayer, and The Giving Tree.

I went on a hunt the other night for my Mercer Mayer Little Critter books. I had EVERY. SINGLE. ONE as a child and now they are gone. My heart died.

I called my mom and asked her where did she put them? Did she still have them? She said she had no clue what happen to them. I want to make it my mission to get these books for my children. I looked on Ebay and they had some bundles, I may eventually try to get some that way. I just really want MY books back...Wah....

So there goes my sad rant for this Monday evening....

My thoughts on "The Shack"

Ok. So this is my first post and I'm all new to this so please bare with me :-) BUT...I am super happy to finally be blogging.

Alright, so I bought my Grandad a book for his birthday called "The Shack", my grandma and him both read it and really enjoyed it so I thought I would read it as well. I begin reading on Monday and finished Wednesday. I must say I LOVED this book. I found it so inspiring. This story is pretty amazing and you must completely open your mind up when reading it. Ever since I finished the book I have REALLY being trying to be the best person I can be, it is that life changing. I would recommend anyone and everyone to read this book it is truly amazing.
