Top Ten Tuesday- Books

Happy Tuesday Everyone!



Today's Top Ten Tuesday Post is about one of my most favorite things in the whole world, BOOKS. Reading has always been something I was big into as a child, young adult and adult. I read any chance I can get really, so this weeks topic is our Top Ten Books. Gosh this is going to be a hard one because there has been so many in my life, but here I go.

10. R.L. Stine, Fear Street.
I know these are super old but these were some of my favorite series growing up. I would take out tons from the library, every chance I could get and then on Saturdays or Sundays my mom and I woul go to the mall and I would buy one there. I probably have read every single one.  When I am the Goodwill or a Thrift Store, I always look for them too because it has such a sentimental meaning.

9. The Babysitters Club
Another nostalgia book of choice. I have read every single one of these books also. I even went on to start my own Babysittes Club because of the books. I look back now and how cheezy and corny they were, but gosh they were some great books.

8. Don't Die My Love

I must have read this book a million times. It was the first book, I ever cried reading. Again I read it when I was younger but it still left an impact on my life with how great it was. I loved this book, tremendously.

7. A Million Little Pieces- James Frey

Even though it turned out to not be true, this book was great. Suffering from a family of alcoholics, I was a moth to a flame to this book. I loved the in depth look into addiction and rehab. I also read his other book about the friend he met in Rehab.

6. White Oleander

Another book that left an impact on me. I even used this book in my college essay papers, as I related to this book a lot, being I had a mother whom was very much the same. Again I always love books more than the movies.

5. Nicholas Sparks
I know this is an author rather than a book, but I just cant pick one of his books, seriously I love them all. So he gets a whole section because I could list each and every one.

4. Jodi Picoult- The Pact

I read this and loved it forever. I read it in high school and it has stayed with me. So unique in her writing style, breaking chapters between people and events. I had never read anything like that before, she instantly became one of my favorite authors and I read everything she comes out with.

3. Summer Sisters- Judy Blume

I read this book and passed it on to my best friend Lea Ann when we were younger and it was 100% us. I loved Judy Blume and this book was the perfect coming of age book.

2. Forever- Judy Blume

This was the first book, I ever read that involved sex and I couldn't believe what I was reading. It was so good and naughty and one of my favorite books of all time. Another great summer coming of age book.

1. Wild

I read this book while I was marathon training and it spoke to me on so many levels. It was motivation, inspirational, funny and driven. I loved the depths of this book and it was a true story and a great movie.

This was so hard to do. There are so many great books and I could go on and on with my lists. Make sure to check out Nancis post too .

Also we hold an online book club over at the Novel Bunch on Facebook, if interested please join. We are picking our September book now.

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I ...

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look ...

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and...
