Peak Of The Week-Things That Piqued My Interest 9-12-18

September 12, 2018 by Sharon

A recent sunset at our house!!!

There seems to be a theme this week— BOOKS!!!

What We Lose When Hymnbooks Disappear – An interesting read about the importance of the physical hymnbook. I don’t care as much about hymnbooks disappearing as I do about hymns in general disappearing!!! I love to sing old hymns. It brings a great sense of peace to my life as well as a storehouse of memories of singing hymns with my family as a young girl!!!

What Your Roommate’s Favorite Book Says About Him – With school starting back up, this is a cute article about how to know more about your roommate!!! I just found some of my favorite books to see what it says about the people who like them!!!

The Great American Read – Meredith Vieira hosts a show on PBS about The Great American Read. There is a list of 100 best books. Everyone is encouraged to vote on their all-time favorite book!! Of course, you know I voted for To Kill  A Mockingbird!!   It is a great book list!!! I’m a little late to the party on this as everyone was encouraged to read books off of this list over the summer, but voting goes through mid-October!! See how many books on the list you’ve read and be sure to vote for your favorite!!!

Why Reading Books Should Be Your Priority – I can’t imagine a life without books!! I have loved books my entire life. I owe so much to both of my parents who are true lovers of books and reading!!! According to this article, 26% of adults admit that they haven’t read even part of a book in the past year!!! This article gives good reasons to pick up a book!!!

With all of this talk about books, What are you reading right now?

I just finished When Life Gives You Lululemons — nothing earth-shattering. I am working on a post about a memoir I recently finished that I think you might enjoy!!!

Happy Reading!! And of course, Happy Peak Of The Week!!!
