Books, books, and more books!

If you know me, you know that I LOVE to read. I could make a career out of reading. Well, probably not because I only love to read what I want and on my own time table.

I have been in a funk lately and I didn't know how to get out of it. I know I was bugging people with my funk because I was bugging myself! You know it is bad when you are conscious of how depressed and annoying you are. I have been talking to Angi about wanting to read the Bible. One day we went to Barnes & Noble (my favorite store) and were looking around and I remember seeing a book on my last trip called The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. I really wanted to read it because I was being so negative about everything that I needed something to help me change my way of thinking. I haven't gotten very far in it because on that same trip that I bought that book I saw a book called Guy Like Girls Named Jennie by Kerri Pomarolli in the Christian Inspiration section. It is about the author's dating relationships and how they lead her to be closer to God. It got me interested in it when I read the back of the book.

This is what it says: "Discouraged with dating books written by authors who married just after puberty and then tried to give relationship advice-'I didn't meet my husband until I was seventeen, and I'm so glad I waited'-stand up comedian Kerri Pomarolli decided to write her book as a single woman in the trenches trying to meet Mr. Right."

"In this tell-it-how-it-is book, Kerri offers a glimpse into the mind and heart of a single woman as she shares her personal stories of joy, frustration, pain, and late-night snacks. Guys Like Girls Named Jennie is a humorous and moving story of one woman's search for real faith and true love."

I am about half way through this book and it was so good. It is funny and moving. It has helped open my eyes as to what is good for me and what I need to change about myself. I think it is giving me more confidence about myself.

Then we went back to Barnes & Noble a couple of days later and found a book called Princess Unaware by Brenda Garrison. Again I am not very far into it because I have been reading the Jennie book as I call it. I will let you know how the Princess book goes as I get further in it.

This is the Princess Book.
