The smell of books should come in candle form

I absolutely LOVE being able to catch up on my reading during school breaks. 
I love the feel and smell of books.  It's so soothing to me...

I have read a couple of books and I would like to recommend them:



A remarkable true story of a family who sought to show God's love by hiding Jews during the Holocaust



True stories of children in the big cities. Growing up faster than imaginable.




A touching story of a young Jewish boy born with a gift of painting and how it affects his life and his precious family

A true story of a man going "under cover" as a African American to record/experience racial segregation
A story about two Jewish boys and how faith affects their lives and friendship

The Giver

I sat down and read this whole book today. Check it out.  It's a great read.
It reminds me of a mixture between The Village by M. Night Shymalan and 1984 by George Orwell.


*Choices and free will can produce beauty and love but also destruction and death
*A world without color and emotion is a shallow excuse for a world
*To be an individual is a gift we must never abuse
