I also second the vote up there ^^ for Donald Miller's books....but I might be a little biased, because he's a pretty good friend of mine (which is why I always feel a little weird recommending his books, like if someone knew they would think I have some kind of ulterior motive or something). BUT I will say that he was my favorite author before we even met. My copy of Blue Like Jazz has so many highlighted and/or underlined passages and notes in it. Changed my faith for sure.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522569733769924486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867144268621535114.post-71229284975347689012014-01-03T10:26:24.595-06:002014-01-03T10:26:24.595-06:00I've picked up Love Does at Barnes & Noble...I've picked up Love Does at Barnes & Noble SO many times!

I read that all the way back in high school, just by chance! I didn't even make the connection until recently that it was written by John Green. Hahaha! I'm quite oblivious upon occasion. However, I've heard so many great things about The Fault in Our Stars and I would love to read it before the movie comes out, so I went ahead and bought it on my Nook (of course, it was only like $4 the day I saw it in the Nook store, so I couldn't pass it up!)Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671174452699667579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867144268621535114.post-85084552989948459042014-01-03T10:24:01.819-06:002014-01-03T10:24:01.819-06:00Ah!

I have a Nook (which, I don't know why, because I like holding a book more, but whatevs), and the best thing about it is downloading the free samples. So I will download these today! <br />I have had Gone Girl on my list for AGES (I read one of her other books, Sharp Objects, and it was fantastic), and I noticed that it was only $6 in the Nook store, so I bought it. Hopefully I read it!

Wonderful, wonderful writing. Also, you might like some books by Donald Miller. A Million Miles In a Thousand Years was a book I read twice last year.

I've read through it a couple times now and they always refer to it as a "japanese Catcher in the Rye". It's lovely though!<br /><br />As for playlists... My best friend/blog partner is moving her monthly playlists over to our blog, if you're interested!<br />http://withwanderlust.comgabriellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17313830333971518228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867144268621535114.post-4014788576182549472014-01-01T14:55:55.995-06:002014-01-01T14:55:55.995-06:00YES to the friendships!

You are definitely on my list of people to meet/hang out with in real life ASAP, lady. :) <br /><br />I need to get back into the reading habit, too. The number of unread books I own is getting out of control. As far as suggestions go, none of these are particularly new, but in recent years I've really liked "The Weight of Silence" by Heather Gudenkauf, "Peace Like a River" by Leif Enger, and "The Other" by David Guterson. I'm also eternally obsessed with "East of Eden" by Steinbeck (favorite book!), "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath, and Ken Follett's "The Pillars of the Earth" & "World Without End." Much like my musical taste, the type of books I read has a crazy range. :) Let me know if you end up finding some good new reads--I'm going to have to buy another bookshelf soon anyway. ;)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522569733769924486noreply@blogger.com
