My favorite electronic is my Nook (well besides my phone haha)
If you have ever thought about investing in a tablet or e-reader, I encourage you to do it!! It makes reading fun & easy, plus it is so easy to travel with!
At times I miss having a book in my hand and the smell of the pages so I occasionally find myself at our campus Barnes & Noble hoarding the Karen Kingsbury books! Its nice to give my eyes a change of scenery too!

My favorite author of all time is Karen Kingsbury. When I was writing this blog I got to thinking– How many books have I actually read by her??  Well I counted.. and I have read almost every single one of them!! little addicted?? I would say so!
Karen Kingsbury is a New York Times #1 Bestselling Author & now I know why! She is an American Christian Novelist who has  25 million books in print. If I had to pick one book for you to read (or maybe two books) I would tell you to try One Tuesday Morning & Beyond Tuesday Morning.  I remember reading it a couple years ago and I found myself laughing at the pages, crying at the end, and spiritually connected to Christ. It tells a story of two families- one from the east coast & one from the west coast- who are affected by the September 11th terrorists attacks.
Here is a quick synopsis “I’m a firefighter, God, so I know I’ve been in some tough places before. But this . . . this not knowing the people I love . . . this is the hardest thing I can imagine. The last thing Jake Bryan knew was the roar of the World Trade Center collapsing on top of him and his fellow firefighters. The man in the hospital bed remembers nothing. Not rushing with his teammates up the stairway of the south tower to help trapped victims. Not being blasted from the building. And not the woman sitting by his bedside who says she is his wife. Jamie Bryan will do anything to help her beloved husband regain his memory, and with it their storybook family life with their small daughter, Sierra. But that means helping Jake rediscover the one thing Jamie has never shared with him: his deep faith in God. Jake’s fondest prayer for his wife is about to have an impact beyond anything he could possibly have conceived. One Tuesday Morning is a love story like none you have ever read: tender, poignant, commemorating the tragedy and heroism of September 11 and portraying the far-reaching power of God’s faithfulness and a good man’s love.”
