Random Awesome Books - Flashback Friday

Originally titled Today I Am Thankful for Books.  Any additions to the original post are in pink :)

I love books.


I have 3 bookshelves full of them, in my tiny little apartment. My husband is not impressed with this, or with my habit of picking up more whenever I have the money. I ALWAYS get them used, so its not a huge financial investment, just a space investment. 
Some books entertain, some books educate, and some really good books do both.
Although I am mad at Amazon, due to the publishing of a disgusting book, I am going to untilize the little widget thing and list some of the highlights of my living room bookshelf.

Sorry for the craptastic layout... I can't make it work today.  Still can't make the layout look the way I want it too.  I am destined to have a messy blog.

This book was mine as a small child

Some classic Dr. Seuss

So cute!  And even cuter when the kids are like "REJOICE" on everypage!

I loved reading this book, and it was one that I actually read everyday, as scheduled, usually I give up after like a week or two.

You know I am not actually sure how much I like this book anymore.  It is quite severe with not a lot of mention of affection.  I don't dislike the book, I just think it needs to be balanced out better.

I adore treasuries. 

Very controversial, but as a conservative Christian, I think it has awesome advice, as long as you pay special attention to the part that tells you to build a relationship, don't just be a dictator.  I would advise you read this, along with an attachment parenting book.  In my opinion a combination of attachment parenting and this book would be the best way to deal with kids.

Lots and lots of information about co-sleeping.  I don't know for sure how far into co-sleeping I will be (same room for sure, but I don't know about the same bed), but this is a very interesting read.

Should be required reading for girl's sex ed classes

Actually I love all of these books, but please be warned they are quite off color!

I <3 Chick Lit.

I have not actually read any of these books.  But my husband has a huge book that has all of the stories in one book.  It is pretty awesome.  Someday I should read it!

Mine looks completely different than this, but should be required reading for all new wives.

Remember when I said I love chick lit?  I think mostly I just love chick lit by Sophie Kinsella.  Ironically I don't like books by Madeline Wickham (who in case you don't know is the same person).



I love Amish fiction.  Especially Beverly Lewis.
