Good Books (updated at the end)

Sometimes I go for awhile reading the first 50 pages of books I can't finish! But lately I've read some amazing books that I think you would all enjoy!

I'll start with a book I checked out from the library (info at the end of this post) and gave 5 Stars on Goodreads! The Hired Girl. If you love Anne of Green Gables, you'll love this book. The main character will win your heart just like Anne girl did and you will NOT want the book to end. It's delightful...what more can I say!

The Hired Girl by Laura Amy Schlitz

And for a book that you can enjoy over and over again,

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy

It is a work of art with a beautiful story that can inspire us all during these difficult times.

"What do you think success is? asked the boy. To love, said the mole."

Thanks Terra for reviewing it on your blog, Terra Garden! I'm so glad you did! Terra is a blog friend and an author as well!

And another book to inspire and uplift us by another favorite blogger is

 Through Love's Eyes by Marilyn Moseley. 

Marilyn blogs at Mountain Top Spice. Don't you love the name of her blog! The words of her book are as beautiful as the photos she's used. She really created something special and it's a perfect time to surround ourselves with books that inspire. 

Thanks Marilyn for sending me a copy of your book. I will cherish it. 

Books....a lot to be thankful for today!

 

Have you read a book lately that you think I would enjoy?

PS I check books out from the library as ebooks and read them on my IPAD. 

Easy peasy! I love it!

"The Happiness of Pursuit"

I checked a book out of the library this week and was inspired. Even the title inspires you!

The Happiness of Pursuit : Finding the Quest That Will Bring Purpose to your Life by Chris Guillebeau

I couldn't stop reading it and now I'll go back and read some of the pages I bookmarked. (reading it as an ebook allows you to bookmark multiple pages to find easily)

 

I'll use the quote from Goodreads, "A remarkable book that will both guide and inspire, The Happiness of Pursuit reveals how anyone can bring meaning into their life by undertaking a quest. A book that challenges each of us to take control – to make our lives be about something while at the same time remaining clear-eyed about the commitment -- The Happiness of Pursuit will inspire readers of every age and aspiration.  It’s a playbook for making your life count."

It's very inspiring no matter what your circumstances. I'm not going to travel to all the countries in the world like he did, but I have some new ideas about my hiking adventures. I've made 127 hikes this year so far. I'm wondering how I can use these concepts to 'up my game'. I definitely want to hike some new trails in my area and find some landmarks that I've read about. Have you read a good book lately that I might like?

 Enjoy your day! 😎
