My Month in Books: April 2016

I am an addict. And I am not above sharing it with y’all because I’ve heard the first step is admitting the problem.

My name is Jessica, and I am a bookaholic.

Excuse me, bibliophile is the scientific term, but that words creeps me out!

This isn’t new information to me, but my addiction flared up big this week. A friend asked for a book recommendation and on my quest to find her the perfect mystery/action novel, I found nine books to add to my ever expanding to-read list. My dilemma would be embarrassing if I didn’t hold it so dear. Let me explain. I am currently reading two books while listening to an audiobook (not at the same time, obviously; it hasn’t gotten that bad yet). I have two unread books checked out from the library on my nightstand, three on hold, and about 30% of my book shelf is yet unread.

Therefore, I have decided to use my superpower for good and not evil. Here I will share books that I’ve enjoyed each month. I am not a book reviewer! But I do know that sometimes it can be hard to find a worthwhile book out there. The books I read are not always fresh off the press. And my reading style is all over the place, as you will see, but maybe somewhere in here, you’ll find some book that inspires you to pick it up at the local bookstore, your city library or through the links provided and enjoy!

Here are this months reads:

(Not pictured: Audio book of Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë; because I believe listening to a book is still reading a book!)

Where the Heart Is by Billy Letts: I’ve watched the movie based on this book so often that when I was reading, I could hear Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd and Stockard Channing’s voices in my head. Part of the reason I have put off reading it is because of how much I adore this movie. So check out the movie or the book. They are both fabulous!
Big Cherry Hollar (Big Stone Gap, #2) by Adriana Trigiani: This is the second book in a series of four, and this book is all about characters, quirky, cute characters!
(Un)Qualified by Steven Furtick: This man is one of my favorite speakers. His viewpoints from the Bible on the life of Jacob are some of my favorite teachings.
Imagine Big by Terri Savelle Foy: This is my second time to read this book! That’s how much it impacted me! Fabulous for readers or non-readers alike, in every stage of life!

So, comment below and tell me: What are you reading that I could add to my list?!
