What’s on Your Reading List for 2020?

What’s on your reading list for 2020? 

 When it comes to books and reading I don't normally make a list of what I am reading. Typically what I do is when I am at the library I look through the new books shelves and the 'themed' shelves that my library does. If I find books that sound interesting and like something that I would read I will pick them up and bring them with me until I am ready to leave. Other times I will look up book suggestions from friends or that other people suggest to me and get them.

But this year I am starting out with a shortlist of books that I plan on working my way through. And the books are "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien. Once I am finished reading those books I am currently planning on reading the book "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audry Niffenegger. It has been on my Want to Read list on Goodreads since last year when I got a paperback copy of the book for 25 cents from my library's book sale selection. I also have friends who have read it and liked it. 

 Another book that I recently added to my books to read list is "The Paris Orphan" by Natasha Lester. I found this book at my library on their 'new book' bookshelves. Since historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and I liked the synopsis of the book, I figured that it would be something that I would enjoy reading. 

 While I mainly get most of the books that I read from the library, whether through recommendations from other people or because I found them on my own. My plan for this year is to read more of the books that I personally own. Even though that is a small-ish amount, there are quite a few books that I haven't read yet that I have either bought myself or received as a gift. And while I can't remember all of the names of the books that I plan on reading this year, I plan on making a list of all of them so that I can check off each book as I finish it. If I remember and am looking for ideas to post about here, I might write a review or two of some of the books that I plan on reading here.

And while I don't have an official list yet to share, that is all I have to say for now on what my reading list looks like for this year. In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying the new year now and in the future. Happy reading!

The Other Side of Modesty

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

--- 1 --- The other day I was feeling a bit bored so I made a couple covers for the story that I started working on. --- 2 --- A couple of weeks ago I was looking up pictures of the minons from "Despicable Me", don't remember why, but while I was scrolling down the page I came across this minion picture: --- 3 --- I found this on Pinterest a while back... --- 4 --- On Sunday we had to shovel snow off the driveway. It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
