Go with Simple and Beauty Will Follow
It is a very cold Friday here in Colorado which reminds me that November is soon upon us and all the time I had to prepare for NaNoWriMo is quickly disappearing. I picked this shelf because of its combination of simplicity and beauty, something I am going to have to remember in the upcoming weeks if I want to survive writing an entire novel in one month. Happy Friday Everyone!
A Missing Number
Over the years I have read a lot of books and I mean a lot of them, I don’t even have enough room to store all of them in my house. I am not ashamed to admit it but a good portion of those books have been varying types of Romance, not to say I am a Romance snob; well acutally yes, yes I am a Romance snob. As a Romance snob I struggled with this book, it is a quick and mostly enjoyable read but I couldn’t help but to think that Kinsella tried too hard.
It is a quaint love story but the struggle lies in the author being unable to decided whether or not the book itself is fanciful or realistic which I found to be very distracting. It follows the usual love story pattern, they meet, there’s drama, so and and so forth, there are a few surprising plots twists but to me it was a bit much.
Also I have no idea what the true purpose of the footnotes was and I will be totally honest I forgot they were there the majority of the time. It is an immensely popular book, but it was not for me, unfortunately it did not have my number.

The Horror
A good idea is waiting above you
Happy Friday! I am gearing up to write in NaNoWrimo(an entire novel in just one month) and I am searching for inspiration everywhere, how nice would it be to always have it waiting above you. Keep on Dreamin’ it’s Friday after all.
The Soul
Friday Dreamin’ Switch Up
I went a little rogue on this Friday morning and I could not be more pleased by it. Instead of showing an amazing way or place to display your books, I went a different route, one that suits my slightly stressed soul. I am dreamin’ on this Friday of reading in the perfect place and that hammock suits me perfectly.
She Does Nothing and Everything
A Very Curvy Friday
On this Friday I am searching for inspiration, fun, and whimsical; this bookshelf could not fit the description any better. It’s unique but classy, it could go in a room with a fairy tale theme or in a house full of modernism. It is everything and nothing, I have to find one of my own.
Have An Open Mind or Move Along
After reading about a gruesome serial killer in my last book I needed a change, I needed something lighter. Yes, this book is about religion so you wouldn’t think it would be a light read, but I found myself constantly chuckling at all of the shenanigans.
This book presents a view of Jesus, his early childhood and times in a very unique perspective. The story is told by Biff his childhood friend, who you will both hate and adore, as they go along their journey from hooligans to enlightened beings. The journey is not easy, it is a vivid, humoruous and at times very explicit path but well worth the read.
ATTENTION: This Book is about the life of Jesus before the Bible, it will be offensive if not read in the spirit it was meant. Do not read this book if anything above gives you pause or even an inkling towards being offensive.
