Where do I begin?

Have you ever been crippled by fear? Have fears or anxiety of any kind hindered you from living your life?

I can tell you that my answer is yes. The funny thing about suffering from fears or anxiety is the opinions that everyone has on how to cure it. Some suggest exposure therapy and my favorite 'just getting over it'. I can tell you bibliophiles that none of the above assisted me in anyway shape or form. I guess the most important thing is time, I can only speak for myself but I would definitely put time right up there with my coping methods. After all the time I gave myself. . . a year and a half to be exact I came across this book The Power of a Praying through Fear by Stormie Omartian.

I am not really into self help books, I struggled quite a bit to get hooked on the few that I've read, but somehow I am hooked on this one. It is written by a bestselling christian author who is known for the 'Power of Praying Series'. Not sure which chapter or which verse really gave me the will to tackle my fears and take back what is mine, but it definitely gave me the right nudge.

So this book has worked wonders for me with beautiful reminders of how to work through your fears and have a sound mind.

Hope it helps you like its helped me.

Favorite quotes

God not given us a spirit of fear,

but of power and of love

and of a sound mind.

Novels in Verse hmmm? "We Come Apart"-Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan

Hello fellow book lovers! So this week I came across my first Novel In Verse! Titled: "We Come Apart" Written by Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan . I wont lie to you, for the mere fact that it was the first time that I had ever read a novel with this structure, it took me a day or two to get into the book. However, I quickly fell in-love with the characters, the story and the structure. The book is split into three parts and as mentioned the structure is in verse. We come apart has two main characters, Nicu who has emigrated from Romania, and is awaiting to be married without his consent. The second main character is Jess who comes from a home plagued with domestic violence, her mother is dating a man named Terry who is abusive in many different ways, and he often goes to the extent of making Jess film the abuse. Jess and Nicu have their daily struggles which bring them together and which also stand to separate them. What I loved about most

First post cant be less than "Everything Everything"

Everything Everthing -Nicola Yoon “Sometimes I reread my favorite books from back to front. I start with the last chapter and read backward until I get to the beginning. When you read this way, characters go from hope to despair, from self-knowledge to doubt. In love stories, couples start out as lovers and end as strangers. Coming-of-age books become stories of losing your way. Your favorite characters come back to life.” ― Nicola Yoon , Everything, Everything This amazing book was referred to me by a friend and colleague, and I must add that I did not need much convincing after watching a snippet of the trailer of the movie that cannot come soon enough. this book only took me a day to read because of its structure, its super reader friendly and really grabs your heart and doesn't let you go. Without giving any of the goodness away, this young adult fiction novel looks at the life of Madeline "Maddy" Whittier who suffers from a

James Patterson- Middle School The Worst Days Of My Life

A good day to you Bibliophiles! today I did something a little different as you can see! I have wondered about my sisters obsession with James Patterson's 'Middle School' books and today I finally got it. We watched Middle School:The Worst Years Of My Life based on one of James Patterson's books, I have to say I thought I would hate it but turns out in a couple of hours I would be blogging about it! So basically this particular book and movie is about a character named Rafe who has been expelled from two schools, his last option is a middle school that has too many rules that he cant understand or come to terms with. According to my sister and according to the movie he constantly communicates with a guy called Leo. It is Leo's character that caught my attention , at first Leo looks like that friend that's always by your side, helps you make plans and keeps your head in the game. While watching the movie my sister kept complaining about how different ev
