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!

  • What is the one thing you remember most from your wedding day? I remember walking into the room that we got married in and seeing almost everyone I loved all in one place, smiling at us. I loved all of the stunning details of the reception, the food, the dancing and the beauty…but it’s the overwhelming feeling of love I got from thinking, “These people are all here for us. What a tribe.” My sister @jocelynstimpson’s dress is from @thebridesshop and they generously agreed to give you $150 off accessories if you or your people buy your dress from their
  • After my Epstein-Barr health issues and fighting for my energy last year I am now HYPER conscious of what I put in my body. I am a HUGE cheerleader of brands who actually CARE what goes into our bodies and have developed foods that are GOOD for us. We apparently don’t smile with our eyes but I PROMISE you we are happy and smiling about @jojoschocolatebark now being offered at even more Costco locations! NEW locations: California, Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri & Wisconsin (200+ Total)! Why I LOVE Jojo’s
  • One of my favorite people on this planet had her 30th birthday today! She is an incredible mother, an incredible entrepreneur, an incredible friend and such a beautiful human both inside and out. I learn from her and am blessed by her example every day! I love you @rachparcell!! Happy birthday!!
  • We went skiing today and when we got to the top of the mountain my job DROPPED! Like actually dropped This photo doesn’t even do it justice!! I didn’t go skiing last season for some reason and I’m SO glad we are making it happen this year. Where is your favorite place to ski? I learned how to ski about 8 years ago when I decided that I didn’t want to hate winter any more. It’s cold in Utah for almost HALF the year! I needed something fun to look forward to in the snow! ❄️❄️❄️ #skiing #skiutah #snowbird
  • We need each other!! This picture makes me think about when Tyler and I hadn’t told a lot of people about our infertility. We had done 3 IUI’s and 2 rounds of IVF without a baby and I was physically and emotionally sick. I just needed a break so we decided to stop trying and just have fun for a bit. I wrote out our journey up until that point while up at 2 am with jet lag after we returned back from a trip to China (I had a miscarriage on an airplane there!) It felt so therapeutic that
  • This is just your friendly reminder to schedule your dental cleaning! Check out this cutie’s teeth! We had the opportunity to travel to Egypt back in 2019 and it was really special. I learn so much when I travel, but especially gratitude. Where is the coolest place you have ever traveled and would recommend to others, and why? #travelegypt #egypttravel #pyramids
  • What time do you wake up at every morning and what is the first thing you focus your attention on? If it’s different than what you actually do, what do you want to focus on first thing in the morning? (Harris and I rode his and Goldie’s scooters in the parking lot for an hour while we waited for her to finish dance class ) #priorities #focus #2021goals
  • My word to remind me of my intention this year is FOCUS. I want to focus on the things that are important to me, and in doing so I need to save time where I can! The @walmart+ membership has saved me HOURS of time. Almost every single week, I use Walmart+ free shipping, no order minimum on items from walmart.com (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items). Head to today’s blog post to see the benefits available to you and how they can save you SO MUCH of time like they have for me! #ad #Walmartplus
