You Know What's Sexy?

A man who reads. Seriously, is there anything better than a well-educated boy with nerdy reading glasses and a pile of books at the local coffee shop? No, ma'am.

^ Point proven.

On that note, don't ya just love to read? I am a HUGE book worm, but I unfortunately don't read as often as I'd like. I probably finish a book every two months, give or take. It's my dream to have a cute reading nook with bookshelves from floor to ceiling in my future Beverly Hills mansion (kidding, sorta). Here's a few of my fave books, dolls:

^ I'm No Angel by Kylie Bisutti

Seriously my favorite book. Kylie was a Victorias Secret model and gave it all up because she didn't feel comfortable flaunting her body when she had a perfectly wonderful husband at home. She followed Christ and gave up everything the world see's as "worthy". Kylie once tweeted she would rather be a "Proverbs 31 role-model than a VS model." Go Kylie!

^ Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels by Ree Drummond

If you're anything like me, you have a soft spot for the Food Network. Ree hosts the Pioneer Woman show, sharing the homegrown recipes she serves her family on their ranch in Oklahoma. Black Heels to Tractor Wheels tells the love story of how her and her "Marlboro Man" rancher hunk of a husband fell in love. Very sweet, I couldn't put it down.

^ Love Italian Style by Melissa Gorga

I literally read this in 2 days. Melissa stars on the Real Housewives of Atlanta (personally, I'm guilty of never actually seeing an episode, ha) but her book is phenominal. Lots of online reviews found the book materialistic and shallow (lol) but I really enjoyed it. She explains her story of coming from nothing and eventually becoming extremely successful. She explains (in pretty serious detail) the secrets to her happy marriage. Well worth the read for all you soon-to-be-wives out there.

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

Girl. This book, I'm tellin' ya. It's thick and intimidating looking, but I finished it in a snap. Then my mom finished it. Then five of my girlfriends finished it. It tells the story of a young prostitute in the early 1800's whom gets pursued by a kind, wealthy man. It's based off of the book of Hosea in the Bible.

^ Through My Eyes by Tim Tebow

I'm a huge, huge Tebow fan. I love sports, especially college football, and I couldn't be more impressed by this strong man of God whom, even in the spotlight, has held strong in his faith and given Christ all the glory. Also, watch his documentary (well worth it). Gosh, I need a man like that, can I get an amen?

^ The Honest Life by Jessica Alba

As a new mom, Jess wanted the best for her kids. Having developed some easy, chic, and down-to-earth (aka honest - get it) ways to raise a family, she shares all her inside celeb info in the book. If you're curious how to plan a dinner party or what to feed a 2-year-old or how to apply makeup or how to decorate a master suite, here's your go-to.

The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck

This book, written by a genius psychologist, is jam-packed with stories of his patients and how he helped them achieve greatness. It explains how and why we are the way we are. Are you needy? Are you lonely? Are you a quitter? Are you depressed? He explains the underlying reasons for all these. Seriously, read this book. It's extremely enlightening and will change your world views.

^ Deliciously Ella Cookbook by Ella Woodward

Ella suffered from POTS syndrome, same as me, and overcame it by eating vegan (of which I could never do - no willpower, lol) and working out daily. Her cookbook lists about a hundred FILLING vegan, all-natural recipes. Try the sweet potato brownies - bomb.
