A few best-loved books: The Bible – This is my favorite book ever, as you might be able to tell from the rest of my blog. Reading the Bible gives me peace, happiness and strength for whatever the day may bring. It also helps me when I’m stressed, sad or angry. Try reading stories online with videos and audio as well to explain things as you go:http://www.amazingfacts.org/free-stuff/bible-studies/storacle-lessons.aspx Diary of Anne Frank Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (coming out soon as a new movie with Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway).
