The Best Reading List

Shop

20 Aug


I know what you’re thinking. The title to this post seems like a lot to live up to and a pretty big promise. That’s how much I LOVE these books! To mix it up a bit, I thought it would be fun to share my favorite books of all time. To go along with A Slice of Style and why you come here every day, reading is a very inexpensive form of entertainment 😉 One book can bring you joy for hours!
I have absolutely loved reading since I was a child. I would go in my room and read for a few hours when I had time. I would soak it all in! I still love it and try to read a little bit before I go to bed every night to get my mind off of the day and escape for a bit. 
 

Plus, if you buy the books through my links this month, you’ll be supporting Jared and VoNique’s infertility fundraiser which I’m so excited about it. It has been going so well and I have loved doing it for them and seeing everyone become involved. You guys are amazing.
First up, Unbroken. This is the best book I have ever read. It is a life changer. If you’ve seen the movie, just know that the book is 10 million times better. Yes, I said it. It helped me be so grateful for my life and how easy it is in comparison to what the main character went through. It’s a true story of a man involved in World War II and you’ll be a different person after reading it.

the best book list 
Next up, the Giver. Again, this makes you appreciate your life and the freedoms that you have.  It’s fiction but has so much meaning and I’ve probably read it at least 4 times I bet. This is a movie as well and I heard the movie was really weird and not good. So don’t watch the movie and read the book and you’ll be a happy little reader like me 🙂
favorite books
The Forgotten Garden is next. This book is fiction and has twists and turns that will absolutely shock you. I LOVED it and I think I’m going to read it again soon 🙂
 Same Kind of Different as Me is an INCREDIBLE book. It really is and will touch your heart and make you more compassionate. This is a true story and it made me so happy because I just love how good some people can be. Oh, I can’t even tell you how much I loved it and how much I think you need to read it!
The Glass Castle is another must-read and is a bestseller on Amazon for a reason. It’s a true story and it’s another one that will make you grateful and treasure your own life. It’s beautifully written.
I just started reading All But My Life because my friend let me borrow it. It was referred to her by one of her customers and she absolutely love it, and I am hooked already. It’s about a girl who lived through the Holocaust and it’s so beautifully written.

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt is another favorite that is an absolute delight to read. It’s about a young girl who moves in with her aunt and the characters are so charming. I loved every second of it!

And, last but not least, Harry Potter. Seriously! If you haven’t read these books, you are in for a real treat. This is a great deal on the full set. They are full of adventure and fun and just help you escape for a bit which is why I love books so much.

I hope you love these books as much as I did! I am honestly pretty confident that you will. Most of them are bestsellers…for a reason. I would love it if you left your favorite book recommendations in a comment. I am always looking for great books to read! You can call me Jenica the Bookworm from now on 🙂

    Thanks for sharing Jenica! I always like to read a few reviews before I commit to a book ;). Just recently I read "Unbroken" and could not stop thinking about it for days.. what an incredible story! I will definetly read some of the other books you listed. Here's a few books I read recently and LOVED each of them: The Nightingale by K.Hannah, The Lost Wife by A.Richman, Even Silence Has an End by I.Betancourt, Twelve Years a Slave by S.Northup. And may I suggest a great way to read when you don't have much time to just sit down and relax with a book.. Audible! I often listen to audiobooks when I drive, clean, cook or run/workout/ride a bike! If it's a great story I can't stop "reading"/listening to/, I get A LOT done around the house or get up earlier in the morning to get a bike ride in with the book before my daily craziness begins ;).

    Hey Jenica! I loved the Big Stone Gap series by Adriana Trigiani! It’s based on where the author is from, which is also the town beside where I grew up and currently live. There is also a movie based on the first book. 🙂
    I look forward to reading some of the ones you suggested!

Somewhere along our way, we picked up the belief t Somewhere along our way, we picked up the belief that questions weren’t okay. Maybe it’s because we had an experience that made us feel dumb - we asked a question and we got made fun of. We then picked up the belief that we’re already supposed to know it all, and that when we question, it means we are inadequate. That questioning is unsafe.

Kids ask questions constantly, so they learn constantly. They haven’t yet taken on the belief that they need to know more than they do right now. Because how could they possibly? It makes sense. They’re curious and ask all of the questions in all of the ways.

Let’s do that.

Let’s ask the questions. In every way. From all the angles. And then focus on where we are turning for the answers because WHERE we are turning matters. I think God will guide us if we ask Him. He knows how to speak to us in ways that we will hear, but only if we turn to Him.

He’s got us.

Questions are EVERYTHING and I want to live to my last day with a million questions that I expect answers to in His way. He’ll show up for me. And I’ll know He’ll show up for you, too. 🤍 #parcellsundayselfie 6/4/23 #sundaybest #christianposts
Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a m Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a mom to twins and now mom to 3! Why I love it:

🤍 The car seat and stroller seat rotates so it makes it a great place for baby on walks and other places like restaurants because I can face him where I need to! He can be facing towards me as I’m seated or avoid sun in his face on walks!

🤍 I love that the car seat pops directly into the stroller base. If he’s sleeping I don’t have to wake him up and it makes going ANYWHERE so much easier and gives me so much less anxiety when I take my crew out and about 😅🤍

Let me know if you have questions! #orbitbaby #sponsored #newbaby #momhacks #momlife #stroller #travelsystem

Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary talk to speak in church what his favorite part of church was, and he answered honestly:

“The treat at the end.”

I laughed and laughed, and I also realized that this truth spoken from his mouth was spot on.

I pray, and I write and I listen and I study because in those moments is when I can hear Him.

I see Him in truth everywhere. He is in all things. His lessons are gently whispering in the textures, the smells, and the relationships I give my energy to.

I put forth effort by my small acts of showing up and telling Him I’m listening and His spirit is the “treat at the end.” And during. And before - even when I sometimes don’t notice it quite yet.

🤍🤍🤍 Happy Sabbath my beautiful friends!!! His knows you by name. He sees you and hears you and ADORES what He created - you. 🤍 #parcellsundayselfie 5/21/23 #sundaybest
