What's on your to-read list, and what have you recently read?

Well, my most sort-of recent reads have been the books - Take One, Take Two, and Take Three in the Above The Line series by Karen Kingsbury.

Karen Kingsbury would have to be one of my most fave authors - she writes the best Christian fiction and always addresses so many issues we deal with today.

What I am reading right now?

Well I have always got a few books on the go at once so here is what I have on my bedside table right now that I am currently reading...

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by MARIE KONDO

I have only read a chapter and a bit of this book yet. Many people can read it practically in one sitting and get started on their journey to using the #kondomari method in their own home. I don't get to read as often as I used to anymore so it takes me forever to get a book started let alone getting it read in any short amount of time.

I'm quite enjoying it...it's interesting and I know that some of Marie's thoughts and concepts will be useful. It's probably the most popular and talked-about book in its market at the moment - who would have thought that tidying up is something we need to be taught to do properly that it warrants a book to be written about it!! LOL!

Take Four by KAREN KINGSBURY

Just keeping on with the series.

It's always such an uplifting and feel-good experience reading anything written by Karen. I always feel so engaged and connected to the characters in each of her novels.

One Thousand Gifts by ANN VOSKAMP

I must admit, I'm not very far into this book. The Karen Kingsbury book always wins when choosing what to read ;-)

I have heard great things about it, which is why I purchased it. I love Ann's quotes she writes. Such honest, straight to the heart of the matter kinda stuff - love that!

On my to-read list?

Well, that pile is rather large so I'll just share a few of the top ones...

>> All three books by Lisa Messenger of The Collective mag (Daring & Disruptive, Life & Love, Money & Mindfulness)

>> Fringe Hours by Jessica N Turner

>> The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown

and many more.

What are you reading or would like to read?

In Lieu of the Blogtember Challenge for Day 18...

1:21 AM

I am forfeiting today's prompt in the Blogtember Challenge today as I have not yet mastered the ability to record a VLOG.
It's something, I am wanting to learn - but there is this thing called T.I.M.E that everyone seems to not have enough of...and that's the case for me.
It's on the cards though.

INSTEAD -- I am going to share a little somethin' somethin' from today.
And ask you your opinion on somethin' a rather too.

Firstly...a little story for ya.

This is my 'baby'...little K.
She was harping me for a snack so I caved and gave her a handful of Fruit Loops. She'd never had them before and so she kept asking me what flavour each colour would be.
We had raspberry, strawberry, orange...then we got to this one she is posing with in the picture --

"Is this one grass?"

Bahahahahahahaha!
It's a legitimate queston ;-)

Secondly, I have a been planning a new look for my girls' bedroom.
New beds, new doona, new pillows, their own bedside table each, and few other little niceties to make it special.
I have the new quilt covers purchased and stored away for the revamp.
I have been researching beds and have managed to narrow the selection down to these two...

The top one is the Annabelle bed frame from Adairs. I do love the look of this one...simple yet stylish.

The bottom one, however, also holds some appeal as it provides some extra storage options. It is the Daisy bed frame from Bedshed. The toys can go on the shelves, instead of piled all over them and their beds as they sleep! The part below the square shelves also opens up for added storage space for things like an extra blankie, cushions or what-have-you.

I took it to Instagram and the majority preferred the top one.
My girls actually both picked the bottom one.
I think it will come down to what my husband thinks -- BUT I will ask YOU.
Which one would you pick??
I'd love to hear from you so comment away :-)
