About Me

Perhaps I'll sail around the world; go on a pilgrimage. I'd like to see what's out there, what I am missing. Maybe ink up, open a tea shop, and publish my music. But a goal's just a wish without plans.

Blogger's Challenge Day 13

I'm going to make an illegal move...and give you 10 of my favourite books. Not five.

I am a bookworm. I love too many books. Just as I love music, photography, and art, I could go on and on listing all my favourites about this particular subject matter.

10. "Double Identity" by Margaret Peterson Haddix
      This book was definitely haunting and mesmerizing. Not scary. Just a real mystery that's not answered until the absolute last chapter. I can't say much more than that, or I'll give away the ending.


9. "Granny Torelli Makes Soup" by Sharon Creech
    I read this book about 10 times during grade 7&8. So terrific...if I had enough time and wasn't in the middle of two other series, I would totally pick it up again. Just a great book about the friendship, regrets, and love stories shared between an Italian grandmother and her sassy granddaughter. 






8. "Ghost Boy" by Iain Lawrence
      Ah...I loved this book sooo much. It's about an Albino boy named Harold Kline, and how he finds himself, pushing past all the rejection life offers him.










7. The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling!!!!
    Is there really a need for me to explain the awesomeness of this series? It's a good series! Nuff said.



6. "The Wanderer" by Sharon Creech
    Sharon Creech has definitely been one of my favourite authors. "The Wanderer" is just another book full of mysteries, building relationships, and life. I like the format of this one, because it uses two cousins, Cody and Sophie, who write journals about their trip made across the Atlantic Ocean from Connecticut to Ireland. I love the use of seeing through different eyes, different perspectives. I have read this book over ten times. It's soo good.






5. "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque
   Oh my goodness. This book was almost the biggest eye opener of my life. It exposes the horrors, the truth, the disgust, and the treachery of war. So impacting.









4. "Once Upon a Marigold" by Jean Ferris

 I know I've said this for like, all these book recommendations, but I absolutely love this book too!!!! A love story that's so different from the rest.... 

3. "The Princess" by Lori Wick
This book is based on the relationship between two people who's marriage depends on God, and  their faith in Him. I can't explain this book. You'll just have to read it for yourself. Definitely a great read. You won't be disappointed.   

2. The Wheel of Times Series by Robert Jordan
I have just started reading these books, and as such, I am only on Book One, but I still love them!! They're one of the first fantasy series that I've actually fallen in love with! So amazing. I haven't even finished the first book and it's already #2 on my Must Read list. :O :) That says something ;)





And Finally Number One.
Here's the deal.
I don't have a number one.

I can't pick a favourite book.

I can, however, tell you name the book that has kept me on this earth. The book written by my hero. My King.
Don't take this in a cheesy way.
See. This book...it inspires me. It shares a written fraction of God's love for His creation. For us all.
I have not read all of it. I do not know every single spurring note, thought, poem, story, or miracle.
But those that I have read...
Well.
It helps me keep my faith.
It's a book of wisdom.
It has a lot of truth...and sometimes it's hard to take.
But, it keeps me on a marked path. It keeps me at a constant peace.
I'm not perfect, and this book has told me that God knows I'm not perfect.
And He's okay with that.
He wrote this book to tell me (and to tell you) that nobody on this Earth is perfect. That He'll always be here for me. That His love is everlasting. That He can use every body...because He loves every single soul on this Earth.

And to me....that's life changing.
