Read a Book!

I love reading. Growing up my Mom always read to us, even after we learned how to read ourselves. We read all of the Boxcar Children, and various other series. To this day I still enjoy listening to my Mom read, only this time it's to my nephews :) Because of my childhood reading I am still a voracious reader to this day. It's something I really enjoy. 

Which makes it crazy that I have never done a book list or what i'm reading now post on this blog!

These aren't all of the books I've read recently, but some of my favorites! Hopefully it will inspire you to read as well!


 I read a LOT of fiction, but I have recently really gotten into non fiction as well. Right now I am FASCINATED by the Kennedy era and his untimely death, so I have been reading many books about the Kennedys.  The above two books are my favorites, next to Killing Kennedy by Bill O'Reily. Clint Hill is the author of both, and he was the Secret Service detail for Mrs. Kennedy. He was also the agent that is seen climbing on the back of the car when President Kennedy was shot. His books are so fascinating to me. Getting a glimpse of their lives and then a step by step look at the five days leading up to and after President Kennedy's death.
 This showed up as a suggested book on the free or almost free website I check out everyday (Bookbub, if you're wondering!) And I immediately snatched it up. If you've ever wondered what went on in the hospital during that time, this is all eye witness accounts from the medical students AND the Dr's that tried to save President Kennedy's life. If you work in the medical profession I think this would be even more interesting to you!

 Onward to fiction and happier times! Ha! I love Sandra Byrd's novels, I just finished the second book in this series. And I'm hoping the third book is free soon on bookbub :) It's about a small town USA girl who has dreams of living in Paris. And then her dreams become a reality! They are well written and it's cool to get an insight into french culture and their way of life.
Oh Becky Wade, how I love your books! Her newest book finally got to my library and I read it this weekend. Actually I read it in about 24 hours. It was that good. It's a book in the series about the Porter family, but you can still read it if you haven't read any of the others.  I love how she mixes faith, with real life, and pop culture references. Several of her characters I can see parts of myself in. I think that's what makes her books so enjoyable AND relate able. Love her!

I love Jesus & Sephora!!

 I am not a morning person. There are very few things I will get up early for. Friday morning I got up while it was still dark outside. My alarm went off at 6:45 am and let me tell you I have not seen that time for a very very long while! However, something really exciting was happening that morning! Sephora came to Tippecanoe Mall! THATS RIGHT FOLKS SEPHORA!!!!!!!! I love me some Sephora! Yes, it is expensive, but the quality is amazing, and in reality I spend less on Sephora products than trying to find something that works with my wacky skin at the drug store. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I set my alarm early and ran out the door in a hurry! I got to the mall at 8:02 am. Sephora was opening at 10. I was not the first person there! I was about the 12'th person there and at first we were all smushed into this doorway which was really not comfortable at all. Thankfully the kind people at JcPenney let us inside the store so we could line up outside of Sephor...

Who needs a Knuckle anyway?!

 If you are squeamish and do not like pictures of fingers stitched up, now would be the time to close this post and come back another day!  I put this picture of my struggling get up for my shower first so that no one has to see the stitches if they don't want to. Call me kind :) Also, this get up did not work at keeping my finger dry.  So last night i was opening a box of books, and accidentally opened my knuckle as well. It's funny, it didn't really hurt at the moment. I felt it of course, but it wasn't horrible pain. Blood started gushing and I ran for the bathroom to get some tp on it and bandaids. I do NOT do well with blood and seeing all of it made me a tad bit light headed. I managed to find some gauze and tape and after looking at my finger and noticing that i could see INSIDE my finger and the knuckle skin was WIDE open, I almost passed out. hahahaha.. it was GROSS! I dr'd up my finger and tried to decide if it would heal on it's o...
