These books are my guilty pleasures. I've been trying to encourage my kids to read more so I figure I should read more too! I love this genre and these books are really fun and easy to read.
Digital or physical? The more we embrace online, the faster we move and the more we cherish reading time. Pulling you to the present, oftentimes slowing you down, a world to escape to. Many worlds! My love for books comes from the nostalgia of old libraries(rare visits I relished as a kid), memories of my first book, the impact of a book on my perspective, thinking and being - the transformative nature of education it contains, the rebellion, angst, wars, love and more in the pages on the shelves or an e-lib. Everything coming alive with each turn of the page. I will remain a lover of books... Here are the perfect gifts for the time traveler, escapist, adventurer, explorer, literary marvels and all kinds of book lovers united...

If you want to get a taste of the best of Brooklyn and visit the cutest bookstores and support small shop Saturday, this is the walk for you. Follow this in order, it starts and ends around downtown Brooklyn (for the most part). It's just under 3 hours walking, but you are going to want to stop and have drinks and snacks and visit cute shops along the way. For the longest stretch between Big Reuse and powerhouse; take the bus or an uber to save 20 minutes. Or walk along and see more of Brooklyn. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday. .
I use every single one of these items on a daily basis when I read and study my Bible. I love more neutral colors that don’t distract or take my attention away from reading.

These books didn’t just entertain me, they shaped my perspective and played a big role in how I see the world and myself. I didn’t discover them as a teen, but honestly, it doesn’t matter how old you are. These stories will stay with you. Some will keep you hooked page after page, while others will quietly break your heart and then gently piece it back together.
I once heard pastor Rick Warren, say that once you finally see God clearly, who he really is, you will truly fall in love with him. And these were the books that helped me, together with the bible, to understand and truly love God. Please share with me your recommendation too in the comments.
One of my earliest memories is going to my elementary school library and asking the librarian if I'd have to learn to read books without pictures. She said yes. I took a deep breath. Picked up my first book with no pictures. And, I've been reading ever since! My lists contain just a fraction of the books I've read and loved over the years.

I am sharing to you my inner me, a multidimentional being—body, mind, heart, and spirit—constantly evolving toward deeper understanding, balance, and wholeness. My overall being is rooted in awareness, guided by intuition, and nourished by love, compassion, and purpose. Spiritually, I am connected to something greater than myself. Just recently, I am trying to be a renewed child of God. I recognize that there is a sacred force moving through all things. This connection reminds me that I am never truly alone, and that my existence holds meaning beyond the material world and I existed to worship and praise him every breath and every second I have in this life. Amidst Life's challenges I am strengthened by God , him alone. In this note, maybe some there will be inspired by how I survived and how I was able to continue...winning the battle is not our fight but with God's. Lets embrace the Word of the Lord and Surrender everything to the Almighty Father.
