Talking about books, my favorite thing!
And there was a linky-uppie thingy....
So....I will answer the questions about books.....and my first linky-uppie-thingy!
One book I am currently reading: Awaken The Giant Within - Tony Robbins
One book that changed my life: Grace Revolution - Joseph Prince
One book that I would want on a desert island: The Bible (I could list others here..)
One book that I have read more than once: Cane River - Lalita Tademy
One book that I never finished: None laying around - I get rid of them!
One book that made me laugh: For the Love - Jen Hatmaker
One book that made me cry: Marley & Me - John Grogan (this has never happened before.....)
One book that is a waste of time: Forest Gump - it is NOT the movie!!! ( I was actually shocked - the movie does NOT match the book - movie is way better...)
One book I am re-reading: Jesus Calling
One book I have been meaning to read: The Friday Night Knitting Club - Kate Jacobs
One book everyone should read: The Love Revolution - Joyce Meyer
One book I think is horrible: ANYTHING by Nicholas Sparks - YUK! (not happy - finds happy - gets happy - then dies) No.
Now....in the spirit of #SeconhandFirst - only ONE of these books besides my Bibles, were purchased at full retail.
Grace Revolution by Joseph Prince.
The rest were all found at local thrift stores!
This is why I can love books! I find books inexpensive and then learn something or just have brain candy - like Grisham novels,or Greg Iles - I am in the middle of Nachez Burning - excellent read.
There is others but we can save them for another blog post!
Maria, welcome to The Loft!! So glad you linked up with us this week. I loved reading your answers to the meme. You shared some books that I am not familiar with, so I will have to check those out. Love the name of your blog!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your answers! I had to smile at your diss on Nicholas Sparks. You might be the first to ever not like him - that I've seen, anyway. You're right, though. Why would we want to read knowing the hero/heroine always dies?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I never thought about reading Forest Gump. The movie totally defines Forest Gump for me - I could never think of it in any other way, so I will definitely stay away from the book.
Good job on finding all of these but one at discounted prices!
Thanks for sharing at the Loft!
