I've had a lot of time off work lately which means I have more time on my hands. What do with that time besides the regular dishes and cooking, reading of course! I have read more books in the past 3 months then I have in the past 4 years.Back story. I grew up in a Christian bubble. I only read Christian material. (Ok, so I read the odd bodice ripper in high school, curiosity!). For 4 years I worked in the Christian book market. I stopped reading for a long time due to life just happening. I was always lost in libraries unless I could find a Christian author.
Here I am today. Thanks to a new friend and just pulling random books from the shelves I have discovered a love for different genres, finding authors I dig. I always felt guilty for reading non-Christian books for years but I've changed. (Plus, to be honest, there is a lot of Christian books that are just fluff or super unrealistic but that's a whole other rant!).
This morning I just put down a book I tore thru in the past two days.
The Last Letters from Your Lover

Other books I have enjoyed to my surprise:
Divergent

An easy read with a great story about the journey of a young female choosing her destiny. Lots of actions, emotions, sweet moments and also a girl kick'n butt which I love!
Unfortunately I think I have to wait until next year for the next book from this author! This also means I need to get reading the Hunger Games but the waiting list at the Library is insane!
Another author I am digging is Janet Evanovich! I have tore thru the two books I had of hers and I'm hoping to pick up some more today.
Here's to more great reads!! (And random book pulling from the shelves!) :D
