{source}

Hey K2 Kanakuk Friends,
I have a dear friend who reads like she is a librarian...but a super fun, cute one. She reads ALL the time. I have realized I have stopped reading...so 2012...let's read? Mmmkay?

So what books are out there that need to be read by me?...(here is my list so far)
1. The Help
2. War Horse
3. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
4. Through My Eyes (Tim Tebow book)
5. One Thousand Gifts
6. The Hunger Games

Okay, thoughts...I don't know a lot about these books but have just heard good things. Thoughts?

Be awesome & Love Jesus,

Hey K2 Kanakuk Friends,
Well, I was looking for something to blog about and came across this already perfect image with already perfect question. Perfect right? The comical thing about this is that I'm not really reading a book right now (minus the Bible). So ponder the question for yourself...what are you reading right now?

p.s. Upon further review I am technically reading a lot of books...i.e. Princess of the Potty, Pajama Time, The Going to Bed Book, You are My I Love You, Colors, Brown Bear Brown Bear...so there is my very incomplete list because our precious firstborn and I read about 50 books a day.

Be awesome & Love Jesus,

Books for YOU...

This is a comment from a mom that I wanted to answer. I am no reading maniac but here are some of my favs. Some are serious, some fiction & fun...hope it helps!

"I wonder if you would consider an addition to your blog that is related to these articles. I would love to see you add an "Ashley's Favorites for Teens Reading List". My daughter and I have an extreme challenge finding wonderful reading material for her. She is 14 and reads at a college level. It seems impossible to find appropriate material, subject matter, etc. She frequently defaults to a younger reading level because she doesn't care to read about the topics that popular culture currently deems appropriate for her age. Hope you can help!(for boys too...mine is 16.) We both love your blog! Thanks for all you do for our kids!!!!"

All Time Favorite Christian Fiction Books:

(2 Covers for Redeeming Love...same book! Incredible. I read this during Finals Week my junior year of college. Needless to say, I did not do so hot that semester on finals...oops!)These are a 3 book series by the same author, Francine Rivers. Trish Helsel introduced me to this series and it is the most challenging book I have ever read outside of the Word. It's about gladiators, love, grace, Roman Empire, etc. It's awesome!This is a 14 book series about the Baxter Family. It is set in Bloomington, IN and when I went to Bloomington on Kanakuk Movie Trail...I wanted to go meet the Baxters. I had to quickly remind myself THEY ARE NOT REAL PEOPLE! The office girls at K2 got hooked on all these books this summer. Books that I Own b/c I know the Message is Good but have Not Read Yet:

Books for PARENTS:
