1. Twenty-Nine and a Half Reasons by Denise Grover Swank
A mystery. Besides Nancy Drew, this is the first mystery I believe I've ever read. This is the second one of a series, and I'd love to read the rest of the series soon! My mom recommended these books to me. We love relating to Rose's Southern sayings and way of life.

2. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings By Maya Angelou
A classic. When I'm shopping in Barnes and Noble, I tend to pick up classics like this one. Actually, I have quite a few that look really nice on my shelf, but I haven't read them yet. I picked this one up this summer after I learned of Angelou's death. What a beautiful human being she was. This book is autobiographic, which I didn't realize until after I started reading. She gave me a vivid picture of what life was like for Southern black people in the 1930s.
3. One Thousand Gifts By Ann Voskamp
A spiritual read. I haven't finished this one yet because I am reading it with a group of ladies from church. We will be discussing chapters one through four soon. It has such a practical concept that absolutely everyone will benefit from. Voskamp tells about tragedies she endured as a child, and how she changed her cynical point of view by simply counting her blessings. She takes her readers through a journey of writing down everything she is thankful for until she literally reaches one thousand. Along with reading this book, we are keeping our own journals of things we are thankful for. I love this experience so far!
