Books

They're my best friends!
I often find myself getting attached to old book characters...and I think about someday meeting them in heaven, and then I realize (with a sad heart) that their not real!  Has that ever happened to any of ya'll?

There are so may books that I have been blessed by, so many characters that I have learned from!
What and amazing God given gift writers have...

Lately I have had a craving for a really good book!
Those inspiring, adventurous, mysterious, and epic dramas of bygone eras, or the sweet stories of a woman of virtue!

Here are a few of my favorites ( Besides the Bible of course ;) :


I remember the day my parents bought the Elsie series for my sisters and I...
I have basically grown up with these books and I love them!
Of course, there are likes and dislikes of the series...but they have really blessed me :)



Ahh! I love this book!
I rarely read a book twice- but this one, well lets just say gonna have to read it again (for the third time)!






Everyone I know who has read this book LOVES it!!!
From the first chapter I was hooked.
 I read this on a road trip and fought sleep so I could read on!!




I'm really big on adventure/mysteries...this is one of those! :)
It's a book you can't put down!



This is such a sweet story, I'll never forget the (late) night I finished it!
I popped up in my bed and let out several big AWWWE's, and had to tell someone how sweet it was...
Poor Mariah, I thought she was still awake!




This is one of the sweetest, happy stories I have ever read...I just about cried at the end.... :)


And Now, for a few book wormie quotes: 



This made me chuckle...It's true!




Uh huh...



YES YES YES!!! This has happened to me!


Agreed!



There are soo many more that I love...but that would be a lot of posting...so I shall just leave you with those few.





I would love to hear of my blog readers favorites...





Yours truly,
Signed,

Alyssa

  2. Oh wow.... yeah that's totally true about the series that it leaves a hole in your heart ;-) I once read the Mandie books- there are 40 books in the series (YES 40!!!) and I had been reading them over the course of a few years... I guess there wasn't too big of a hole though because I knew that there was going to be a follow-up series ;-)

    And yes, the deaths of the characters... One particular series I just was so upset that one of the characters died it just about ruined my life for a few days... I know, dramatically pathetic, huh?

    Love you, girl!
