So a loooong time ago I promised to blog about the books I read in May.
Well it may have taken me a couple months but here it is!
I don't know about you but I really love reading.
In May I found myself having a lot more down time than usual,
with school being out and all.
Here we go
(also this is a no judgement zone)
So this summer has been full of (good) changes
One of those changes is changing my major to Public Relations!
My good friend Ari let me borrow this book written by Kelly Cutrone
She owns a PR company named People's Revolution
(featured on The Hills)
This book gave me a lot of insight into my new career field.
It was very interesting (and at times disturbing) to read about
her own personal journey into PR along with her triumphs and failures.
It's a really good book but has some language so don't read it
if F words make you uncomfortable.
She's kind of a bad a**
Ok, so here is where the no judgement rule applies...
I will just come out and admit that I am a HUGE fan of The Vampire Diaries TV show.
And this last season was driving me crazy with secrets so I just decided to read the books and find out what happens. I know I am just ruining it for myself, right?
WRONG.
The books were nothing like the TV series and thanks GOODNESS!
The book series were terrible.
The plot was so dumb.
And the only relation between the two are some of the names.
I would not recommend these books to anyone.
They were also almost 600 pages each.
But I started them so I had to finish them.
Dumb.
This last book was definitely one of my all time favorites.
Stephanie Nielson, a Provo native, was in a plane crash with her husband that burned 80% of her body.
Her husband burned 30% of his body and broke his back.
In this book she goes into extreme detail about her life before, during, and after the accident.
I found this book to be so powerful spiritually and emotionally.
Stephanie explains how her faith got her through the accident and the recovery which were both very hard to read. Reading those parts of her life in such detail definitely brought me to tears.
I WOULD recommend this book to ANYONE.
It's very uplifting and will teach you what is most important in life
and how to always look towards Heaven for the answers.
Till next time :)
I completely agree with your review of "Heaven Is Here". It's a book I'll read again and again, when I need help keeping life in perspective, and my sights on heaven. It was your blog that introduced me to Stephanie Nielsons blog, which I have been reading with great interest and passion. Thank you for that!
