No Fifty Shades of Grey Here!!

April 14, 2013

Do you have a stack of books that you are reading?

Are you like me and read more than one book at a time?!

You can tell a lot about a person by their stack of books!

Here is my stack of books;

to read,

that I am reading,

and that I've recently read.

Note: No Fifty Shades of Grey here!

Nicki's books and desk{To be honest, I tried to read Fifty Shades of Grey and just couldn't get past the first few pages. I think you either love it or hate it.}

You can tell a lot about a person from their stack of books...

Nicki's books to read

Imagine when you first meet someone, if it was mandatory that they had to share a pic of what they are currently reading.

I think it would tell us a lot about a person.  What would your stack of books look like?

stack of Nicki's books

I think my stack pretty much sums up where my head is at; a little personal development, spirituality, travel, and a few journals to jot down ideas and thoughts.  My problem is, once I start a novel, I can't put it down.  It consumes me.  It's like watching a movie for 5 minutes at a time.  I am selfish.  I want the entire story.  When I am not reading the novel, I think about the characters, the story line etc.  I reserve novels for vacations lounging oceanside, or when I have a weekend to burn (which doesn't happen very often anymore).

I also realize that I have used a few of those books for their pages in more than one way.

For instance, if I didn't love them, then I recycle them...

Like this piece of art that I created and posted on Instagram!

I'd love to hear about what you are reading and what you recommend.  Comment below and tell me what your book pic would read like!

P.S. Oh, and if you are on Instagram, follow me here and get some behind the scene shots that I share only on Instagram!
