It was not easy.

Well my life is officially complete. I'm not sure I have a reason to go on. I'll have to find a new one.

I've been playing solitaire on what my husband likes to call the "solitaire box", better known as a laptop. Anyways, I've been playing it every evening trying to win and make all the little cards jump.

My goal has been to get every space of green covered up by the jumping cards. You know exactly what I'm talking about. You know how the background id green and the little cards leave that little trail. Yeah, yeah, that.

So it finally happened.

The culmination of everything I've been working toward. Seriously, it was waaaaaaaay better than the actual win. Actually I never even cared about the wins, it was just watching to see if the green would get covered.

And then you get but a brief moment to enjoy the prize because after they all jump off, the screen clears and it asks you if you want to deal again.

Yeah, I may need a good book recommendation.

Seriously, you all could leave me a book recommendation in the comments. I don't do romance and I've read about every single Amish girl getting knocked up before marriage and hiding it until she is tragically caught and faces the shun. (Honestly, how many books are there exactly on that subject?!?)

Really if I am going to use time, I like it to be beneficial so if you have a good, sound, biblical based theology type book, that would be good. Or maybe just a good author.

Okay that sounded so snobby. Seriously, I am a total idiot so I need all the help I can get. I'm not making this better am I?

Watch the poles closely tonight. Brandon and I wrote each other in on a few races where we didn't want to vote for the lone idiot that had no one running against them. We may have a run-off! You may see our name followed by .000000000001% of votes. (No, I don't actually even know what that number is.) How exciting!

Go to my book page on my blog. There are all kinds of books, theology, mystery, fun, you name it. All clean and family-friendly.

Have you ever read Elisabeth Elliot's books? Oh.My.Goodness. She is my earthly herioine. I'll pull the books for you that I have.

I would have voted for you.

Wow. That's some craziness right there. The green all covered...okay. ;)

I was just thinking about my favorite books the other day, and they actually fit into both of your categories - they're fictional and very awesome to read, but have deep spiritual analogies that are really awesome.

Ted Dekker (I don't like his freakier later work, but his early work was AMAZING) - "In the Blink of an Eye" (formerly just titled "Blink"), "Blessed Child", and "A Man Called Blessed". Seriously the three best books I've ever read.
