Home of the books....

Barnes and noble has become my go-to when I need a break from my world or want to appreciate the beauty books have to offer. A cup of hot tea, the sounds of people talking, and all the stories underneath each decorative cover. This is my second home! There's no ipad, kindle, or nook that will ever replace this place to me.

Time of my Life by Allison Winn Scotch

"Time of my Life" by Allison Winn Scotch caught my eye last winter and with a cover like this, how could I pass it by?! It's fun, winterly cover makes you want to stay inside with a big cup of hot coco and this very book. I enjoyed the novel as much as the cover. It's a story about a woman who gets so caught up in her day to day life she starts to wish things would've turn out different. One morning she wakes up to find herself in her college apartment with her college love. She journeys back into time just to figure out that her present life was, after all, just the way it was meant to be. Cute and a great read!

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

"Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen was recommended to me by a friend that knew I had an obsession with book covers. The story and cover are both captivating. It takes you inside the circus life during the great depression, making you love and hate the ways of the show. I found out shortly after reading this book that it is being made into a movie starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson. Which, in my opinion, is perfectly fitting!

Codependent No More by Melody Beattie

"Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie maybe isn't the pretties cover but I've been reading it the past few nights and felt like it was a really great book to discuss. I was recommended this book by a friend because I have issues with trying to control other people's lives instead of my own. This book is awesome for everyone! It talks about being codependent on someone that is dependent on a substance, but I feel like this book can help anyone that is trying to make everyone else happy instead of themselves! It's much easier to look at someone and tell them everything they are doing wrong than looking at yourself and seeing what you are doing isn't only making that other person miserable, it's making you unhappy! This book has some great points and helps you see things in a different view. I would've chosen a different cover, but it's bright and straightforward...
