I love books. Love them.
I love the library, love bookstores, love Amazon, everything book. I still haven't decided what I think about moving to the digital era in books. There is something about holding a book in your hand, turning the pages, marking the parts you like.
I can't even begin to tell you what my favorite book is. (Of course, I could write about the Bible, but that one goes without saying, right?) Some books I like because of the storyline (And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie). Some because there is a character who I just fall in love with (Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte). Sometimes a book touches me because I read it at a specific point in my life where it really affected me (Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom). Some books are great because they are an escape, while some are life-changing.
All that being said, I will share a few of my faves:
Radical by David Platt
The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
