Day 23. A picture of your favorite book.
The Bible. Nothing more needs be said.
BUT - it would be a kind of boring post if I didn't say any more than that, right?
Well, the Bible is my favorite book and by far the most important in the world. I do, however, enjoy reading Charles Dickens ("Our Mutual Friend" is my favorite), Agatha Christie, Mark Twain ("The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"...one of my favorite books EVER), "The Man Who Was Thursday" by GK Chesterton, George Orwell's "1984" and "Animal Farm" and scads more. I've loved reading since I was like 3 years old (my mom says I learned to read so early because she could not devote enough time in the day to read to me so I learned in order to read for myself lol)...I've enjoyed having mom read the Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings and Little House on the Prairie series to us as a family (many more books, too but these series stand out in particular) and I plan on passing my love of reading down to any kids the Lord gives me.
"I'll read him stories
From picture books all
Filled with wonder
Magic worlds where the impossible
Becomes the everyday
We'll find a mountaintop
And some moonbeams to sit under
I'll lead because I know the way"
("Stories", from Beauty and The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas)
