These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things tag

Hello everyone! I was tagged by my sweet blogger friend Raechel @ God's Peculiar Treasure Rae for the These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things tag!

So, I am to (1) Write down ten of my favorite things and (2) Tag at least three others.

Let's give this a try, shall we? ^_^

~ Summer ~ It wakes up my soul, the balmy air, warmth, being outside, bare toes in the dirt or soft green grass, wearing shorts and tank tops, day at a lake or ocean, green everywhere, flurishing life, working in the garden, eating ice cream on a hot day ... I feel so alive in the summer; perhaps because I'm outside way more.


~ Getting Books In The Mail ~ There's absolutely nothing like opening the mailbox and finding a book-sized yellow envelope addressed to you!! I am always breathlessly awaiting the books I ordered. It's my favorite finding them in the mail for sure! ^_^


~ Bookish, Fangirly Things ~ Fun bookmarks, special items that characteres have, funko-pops, T-shirts & coffee mugs with bookish quotes ... When you love a book, it's fun to get little related accessories that warm your heart and tell the world about your fandom! *grins*

(Click picture to find site where these cute magnetic bookmarks are sold)



~ Camping ~ Living outside for a while, having a picnic every day, hiking and campfires, laughing and just enjoying life. Yep, camping with family and close friends is the best.


~ Goodreads ~ I quite adore this social media site. If you love books, you must check out Goodreads. Keep "shelves" of books you've read, want to read, and are currently reading. Rate and review books. Find new books to read. See what other think about your favorite books. Take quizzes, enter giveaways, makes lists. Great fun, my bookish friends, great fun indeed!


~ Old-Fashioned Things ~ Vintage dresses, lovely pitcher & basin sets, old books, clock necklaces, and such. They make my heart sing ... *smiles*





~ Books, And Bookshelves, And Everything Books ~ This one's a given. I'm simply a bookish human being to the core. I love reading books, buying books, collecting books, arranging books, staring at books on my bookshelves, smelling books, gazing at epic book covers, finding new books, showing my books to friends, borrowing out my books ... Libraries, book stores, book sales ... *ahem* Need I go on?


~ History ~ Learning about different eras and great historical moments (especially when it comes to the United States of America) is something I really like. I love learning about the fashions, the traditions, the wars, the different movements, inspirational people of old; all that intriguing stuff. I love historical novels and some history school books! *smiles*


~ Great Movies ~ The Chronicles of Narnia {2005, 2008, 2010} // Belle {2013} // How to Train Your Dragon {2010} // Liberty's Kids {2002-2003} // Cinderella {2015} // Call the Midwife {2012-} // Anne of Green Gables {1985} // Catching Fire {2013} // The Young Victoria {2009} // War Room {2015} // Big Hero 6 {2014} // Mockingjay: Part 2 {2015} // Frozen {2013} // Tangled {2010} // The Sound of Music {1965} // Red Tails {2012} // Love's Enduring Promise {2004} // Pride and Prejudice {2005} // Mandie and the Secret Tunnel {2009} //




~ Frozen Yogurt Shop ~ I never tire of going to frozen yogurt places ... they have many different names around the country, but each one is pretty much the same. Lots of flavors of frozen yogurt and lots of yummy and interesting toppings! My favorite is probably cheesecake and blueberry frozen yogurt with chocolate and gummy bears! *grins*


     So that's that! Comment below if you have some favorites in common with me! *smiles*
