What I'm currently reading to finish out the month of February

This is about a girl, who's life is confused, so she goes to this house to find a place to live, and this old lady ends up telling her that she can stay for 90 days.  No more and no less, and this is because it gives her time to figure her life out again and figure out her next move.  The interesting part is that the house has powers, and everyone who has entered it and left, has left feeling better and knowing what their next plan is.  So far I'm really enjoying it, and interested to see how the story unfolds. 

Pride and Prejudice...best classical book and movie ever in my opinion.

This book is a self-help book that teaches you how to enjoy and love your life.  She talks about the different ways that can steal your joy and make you view your life as a miserable thing, when really if you just relax and learn to love and appreciate life, it can be a beautiful thing.

That's all for this post, and that ends this theme for this month.  Next month I think I'm going to do Mental Health Awareness Month.  Throughout the month, I'm going to be talking about the different mental health issues that not only have I faced, but also what other's have or might have gone through.  In these post, I will most likely have ways to deal with it, and different things that you can try to enjoy your life better. I will post some advice, be answering some questions and just overall be a friend to you all.  This will start March 1, 2016 which is next Tuesday, so if there is anything that you have been struggling with, that you would like me to talk about or share your story, please let me know in the comments, or write me an email at: lilvina25@gmail.com and label it Mental Health Awareness Month for March topic.  So share with your friends, stay tuned, show them my blog if you have liked it,and I will see you all next week :)

BOOK TABLE TOUR

Hey everyone...welcome back to It Is Well...With My Soul...February Book Month.  So today I'm going to show you my book table.  I have all my books on a table because I don't have a bookshelf that can hold all of my books...so let's get into it.


So it's kind of blurry, I don't really have a great camera right now and I did everything I know what to do to try and make it not blurry but it didn't work...but here's how they go:

Back row left: Classic books, and my husband's books
Back row center: All of my Christian contemporary books
Back row right: All of my Christian books and bibles
Front row Left and Center: Contemporary books and Series
Front row right: audio books and smaller books

I also keep wipes and diapers, nail stuff, planner stuff and random extra stuff.  On the right...I keep bookmarks, tissues, and other random stuff.

So that is it for today's post.  Let me know in the comments, what you have on your bookshelf.

My Reading Routine

Hi everyone, so today I will be sharing my reading routine.  Now keep in mind, this is how I read, if you don't do this, that is ok, everyone is different.  Before I get into this, I have been sick for a few weeks now, and so I haven't put up any posts.  I'm not really feeling any better, but I wanted to share this with you, in case any of you wanted to know how to get started with reading...without further adew, let's get into it....shall...we :)


1st step: I get into comfy clothes:
    -I hate wearing jeans when I'm going to sit down and read a book, so I get out my sweatpants, my sweat shirt, comfy socks and that is what I wear.

2nd step: I get something to drink:
     -Now I love having something to drink.  Normally I grab a hot tea of some sort, but sometimes I go for a hot chocolate.  I'm not really a coffee drinker so that doesn't really cross my paths, but if you are...then go for it :)

3rd step: I grab something to eat:
     -Normally I just grab a snack...most of the times it's oreos because those are my guilty pleasures.

4th step: I turn on some soothing music:
     -Now I love reading to music...however I love reading to soothing, soft music.  Normally I listen to classical music, sometimes I listen to jazz, or meditation music, but I always listen to instrumental music.  I never listen to anything with words or people singing, because that distracts me and I can't concentrate on my book.

Last: After I have all my stuff around, I curl up on the couch, the bed or a comfy chair, snuggle up in a blanket, and I'm ready to read.

Note:
I'm a mother so I normally read while my toddler is taking a nap or when he is bed for the night.  But if you don't have any children, then you can read whenever.

Ok hope this gave you some inspiration, to start a great book.  If there are any topics dealing with reading that you want me to cover for the month of February, let me know in the comments below.  If you have a reading routine, please share, I would love to hear from you.  Til next time....

February Book Month

Hello everyone and welcome back to It is Well...With my Soul blog.  So we wrapped up New Year-Better You January Month Series, and now we are into February.  So just a little update because I've gotten some people who really loved last month's theme.  First, I'm glad you loved it, and I will continue to post positive things because I love those types of blogs, and two, my toddler has been sick for awhile so I haven't been writing much on here, and I've also been reading a lot and doing a lot of homework.  So without further adew...let,'s go into this month.  This month, I've decided is going to be book month, because I've been reading so much lately, that I just couldn't help but do Book Month, and share books with you.  Now I may not do reviews because I'm really bad at describing things, so I might just do a copy and paste with the URL of the summary so that you all don't have to try and figure out what I'm saying LoL. So starting off today I'm going to show you the books that I've read in January of 2016. In the next post, I'm going to show you  the books that I'm going to be reading for February of 2016, and also, share with you  a challenge that I want to try and if you want to try, feel free and try.  Here we go....

The Selection book 1 of 3
By Kiera Cass

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

The Fault in Our Stars
By John Green

 http://www.kieracass.com/books/

 The Fault In Our Stars is a fabulous book about a young teenage girl who has been diagnosed with lung cancer and attends a cancer support group.

Hazel is 16 and is reluctant to go to the support group, but she soon realises that it was a good idea. Hazel meets a young boy named Augustus Waters. He is charming and witty. Augustus has had osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, but has recently had the all clear.

Hazel and Augustus embark on a roller coaster ride of emotions, including love, sadness and romance, while searching for the author of their favourite book. They travel to Amsterdam in search of Peter Van Houten the author of An Imperial Affliction. While on their trip Augustus breaks some heartbreaking news to Hazel and both of their worlds fall apart around them.

Helen Of Troy
By Margaret George

With her amazing ability to summon the voices of historical characters, Margaret George tells the story of the woman whose face "launched a thousand ships" in Helen of Troy. Laden with doom, yet surprising in its moments of innocence and beauty, this is a beautifully told story of a legendary woman and her times. An exquisite page-turner with a cast of irresistible characters--Odysseus, Hector, Achilles, Priam, Clytemnestra, Agamemnon, as well as Helen and Paris themselves--and a wealth of material that reproduces the Age of Bronze in all its glory, Helen of Troy brings to life a war that we have all learned about but never before experienced.

http://www.amazon.com/Helen-Troy-Margaret-George/dp/0143038990/ref=sr_1_1/179-1311440-7908709?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1454782514&sr=1-1&keywords=helen+of+troy+margaret+george

These are the books I read in January of 2016.  With the picture is the title, author, and summary with the URL so that it's not plagiarism.  Go check out the next post for the ones I'm reading in February.
