My Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars! My Review: I had the pleasure of seeing Samuel Rodriguez preach as a guest at my church... it was an experience! He spoke with a passion I had never seen in my life! In the bible we are told to be light! Samuel Rodriguez not only affirms that we are to be light but tells us exactly how we can be light in our everyday lives. I really liked the way the book is set up it is designed to be read devotional style over the course of thirty days. The chapters are fairly short and conclude with a reflection of the day. What you can expect content wise is a spiritual journey that reveals the scientific importance of light and it's relation to our biblical call to be light! I loved the fact that the information was presented in a unique way which really helped to drive the concept of  being light home for the reader! I also enjoyed the use of short stories which showed the reader how they can be light in various circumstances.     Ab...

I read one book this month! One of my reading goals for the year is to take my time reading books I definitely did that this month! Although, I only read one book I actually started a few books this month! The book I read this month was Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher I rated it 4 out of  5 Stars! In other news I recently purchased a second Kindle!!! I got a Fire HD 6! It's more portable which basically means i'll be reading a lot more in May! :) In April I acquired two new books! The first one is ....Me Before You by Jojo Moyes!!! I have wanted to pick this book up for a while and I finally got it!!! The second and final book I got this month is The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving by Jonathan Evison which not gonna lie I totally picked it up on a whim! That pretty much wraps up the month of April! -Bea Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I have read 14 of 34 books so far! I have completed 41% of my goal of reading 34 books! I am currently 5 books ahead of schedule!

Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher has been on my to read list for a while so it seemed appropriate to attempt to tackle that one this month! Be Light By Samuel Rodriguez was on my to buy list upon its release in May. The lovely people at Blogging for Books sent me an ARC copy to review. Expect a review on the blog sometime this month! Yes Please by Amy Poehler is another book that has been on my to read list for a while. I have heard great things about it hence its appeal! I will be listening to it in Audiobook format this month! The Zodiac Legacy: Convergence by Stan Lee, Stuart Moore and Andie Tong honestly I knew very little about this book when I picked it up. I'm a huge Stan Lee fan and with his name right on the cover I was like what the heck i'm getting it! It must be awesome!  You're Going To Be Okay by Holley Gerth picked this one up at Lifeway Christian Store.The Euro guy pretty much picked it out. I'm glad he did it's actually sup...

One of my Reading Goals for 2016...  #2 Plain and simply I want to stop reading a book if i'm not enjoying it. There will probably be some DNF (Did Not Finish) books that I will be mentioning on this blog and on social media!  I tried again this month to read The Choice by Nicholas Sparks and I couldn't do it! Plain and simply I couldn't get into it. I officially decided to DNF The Choice. It literally made no sense to me to force myself to read something I wasn't enjoying. I would much rather spend time reading books that I genuinely want to read. I have nothing against The Choice if you liked it that's great! It just isn't my cup of tea!
