Day 29: Ten Books on Your Book Shelf

I am just giving you a warning ahead of time, I will definitely exceed ten books.  I love to read, and so does Andy.  So I am going to share a little bit of everything...

Day Twenty-Nine:  Ten (or more) books on your book shelf

Andy and I generally have very different taste in the kind of books we like to read.  Andy usually likes non-fiction or political thrillers.  Something with history behind it or that's informational, as well as entertaining.  While I, on the other hand, love fictional stories that I can dive into and finish in a couple days time.  AKA an easy read.  I do love  historical novels (even non-fictional ones) but I am usually drawn toward cheesy or inspirational stories.

Here's a list of some of Andy's books as well as some of mine.  Then, just for the fun of it, some religious books and our recent/current reads.  Hopefully you don't get bored!
