Mind.....If you would kindy shut up!!!

I am one of those people, who for some reason cannot shut off her mind. I tend to over-think almost every aspect of my life. It is something that I really dislike about myself. I can never just let the problems go for the day. Sitting in my bed at night analyzing how something could be done different is one of my nightly hobbies, hahaha, ya right. One of my favorite books is Eat, Pray, Love and her mind seems to work in about the same way as mine. And should I mention my love of quotes!!!

“I am burdened with what the Buddhists call the 'monkey mind' -- the thoughts that swing from limb to limb, stopping only to scratch themselves, spit and howl.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
 
So mind if you would kindly take a breather for the night so I can get some sleep. Please and thank you, Lauren.

Day #7

I love book series. I really get into stupid, easy to read, and mythological books. I like to escape in my reading. I also like to recomend books to my students at school so sometimes I have to read teenage books. I am totally okay with that because I get to be a kid again.

Four Books

1. The Lost Hero Series

This series is a continuation of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series. That series was written for middle age students and just like Harry Potter, aged with the reader. The Lost Hero Series is written for high school students and is much more involved than the pervious 5 books. It is a quick but entertaining read. There are 2 books currently out. The Lost Hero and The Son of Neptune.

2. Girl With The Dragon Tatto

If you read this book you will be hooked. I read the next two in the series in two days, ya that addicting. Warning, they are vulgar but very intriging.

3. Posionwood Bible
I read this book in high school and have loved it ever since. It is about a minster and his family that move to Africa to convert the people. Each chapter is told by a different family memember. It deals with the real life problems of love, God, food, and deciding how to spend one's life.

4. Harry Potter Series

I have loved this series since the first movie came out. There are too many good things to be said about all of the books to list on here.
