Today on Kelly’s Show Us Your Life Friday, the topic is favorite books/children’s books! I am a huge reader, and I could go on and on about my favorite books! To spare all of you, I’ll only talk about a few!

Adult books:

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE books are Karen Kingsbury’s Redemption series! They are so inspirational and uplifting. I got very attached to her “Baxter family”, and I have been hooked on her books ever since! If you haven’t read her books, you should! Start at Redemption and go from there!

I am also a big Nicholas Sparks fan! A Walk To Remember is one of my all-time favorite books! It amazes me that a man can write such awesome love stories. He’s so good!

I have recently started reading Beverly Lewis’ Amish books. I wasn’t sure that I would enjoy reading something like that, but I have really enjoyed them!

I have also recently read Kristin Chenoweth’s A Little Bit Wicked and Sherri Shepherd’s Permission Slips. Kristin is an Oklahoma girl like me, and I enjoyed reading about how she got her start on Broadway and television. I have been a huge fan of Sherri Shepherd since she first became a cohost on The View. She is so funny, and her book is so entertaining!

Children’s Books:

Where The Wild Things Are has been one of my favorite books since I was a kid. I love how Maurice Sendak tells such a great story with such few words. It’s so good, and I loved the movie too!

I was introduced to Sandra Boynton’s books a couple of years ago. She has great rhyming and repeating words and sounds, and they are great! The Going To Bed Book is my favorite!

A few of my other favorites: Love You Forever, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Napping House, & Goodnight Moon!

Last, I will leave you with another Karen Kingsbury book. The Princess and Three Knights is her latest children’s book. It is a very sweet story with beautiful pictures.
