52 Lists Week #16; My Favorite Books

This week's list assignment-- your favorite books was made for me!  I am such a bookworm and I just love to read.  Only problem was I figured it would probably be shorter to list books I don't like than those that are my favorites. 

 I just have so many!



In order for a book (or series) to have made this list I finally decided it had to be ones that I've read, and reread, and recommended to everyone!  

Harry Potter-- One I am so happy to have shared with my boys!
Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evonovich
The Fox and O'Hare series by Janet Evonovich
And pretty much anything I've ever read by Janet Evonovich
The "In Death" series by J. D. Robb 
Irish Born Trilogy by Nora Roberts 
Bride Quartet Series by Nora Roberts
Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy by Nora Roberts
Weddings By Bella Series  & Weddings by Design by Janice Thompson
Anything by Danielle Steel
The Dirk Pitt novels by Clive Cussler 
The Help by Kathryn Stockett 
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
If I Stay by Gayle Forman 
A Royal Duty By Paul Bureell (My grandmother gave me this book about Princess Diana and I never expected to even read it; never mind enjoy it so much!).
Mount Vernon Love Story by Mary Higgins Clark
Regan Reilly Series by Carol Higgins Clark
Anything by Debbie Macomber 
The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins 
The Divergent series by Veronica Roth 
The Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer
Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson 
All of the Nicholas Sparks books I've picked up so far
The Winter Garden and all of the other Kristin Hannah books I've read
Anything by Sheryl Woods but especially her  Sweet Magnolia series
The Malory series by Johanna Lindsey 
The Hope's Crossing series by RaeAnne Thayne 
Three Sisters by Susan Mallery 
Sea Glass by Anita Shreve
Anything by Jodi Picoult but particularly 19 Minutes & My Sister's Keeper

I could go on and on.... but I won't.  I'll stop there.

      Yep, that is a problem. Usually though my biggest problem is I will buy or check out a book from our library and realize I've read it already once I'm a good two or three chapters into it.

    I love Harry Potter too and am so excited because my son is getting old enough to listen to chapter books and not get bored. I can't wait to read it to him. Thanks for joining the Family Joy link party.

      I was ecstatic when my kids were old enough for Harry Potter and now they love him just as much as I do. In fact my youngest was sick this weekend and he asked to re-watch all the Harry Potter movies.

    Great list you have here. I enjoyed the Twilight series. I've just finished reading The Shack by Canadian author William P. Young. It was really good.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
