Hi everyone!:)
I am here with my monthly "Tea and Whatever Else I Do While I Drink Said Tea"! LOL! This month I am reading!:)
What I'm Drinking:
Trader Joe's Blackberry Fruit Infusion Tea! It's so good and for some reason the smell reminds me of fruit filled donuts!;D It's one of my new favorite teas!:)
What I'm Reading:
C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. I've been wanting to read this book for forever, then I asked my mom if we had it and she got it for me from one of our many, many bookshelves!;)
This book is the combined letters of a demon named Screwtape to his nephew, Wormwood. It's a Christian book. The letters are on multiple different subjects teaching Wormwood how to deceive Christians and it's very eye opening. You sort of read it in vice versa, where he is teaching his nephew the tricks of tricking humans, so you learn their ways and how to be careful not to be deceived. I would say that the book is for teens and adults since some subjects are for adults.
I've found some really good quotes and have written some down such as the following:
I love those!:) The Enemy is Jesus/God since the letters are from a demon.;)
That finishes up the Tea and a Read!:)
Now onto other news!
I got a new Disney Infinity Figure, actually two! Obi-Wan Kenobi and Boba Fett!:D
This is Obi-Wan!;)
And then here are just two random pictures that I took!;)

I hope you enjoyed the post!:D What have you been reading lately? I'd love to know!:)

My dad loves the Screwtape Letters! (Well, pretty much anything written by C.S. Lewis.) ;) I would have read them on my own before now, but he wants to read them out loud to me sometime. Maybe that'll happen this year! :)

Ooh, nice post! I've been wanting to read The Screwtape Letters for a while-I've heard some great things about it! Trader Joes has the best teas.
ReplyDeleteHave you read the Narnia series and/or seen the movies? Funnily enough, I like the movies better than the books. I wonder if I'd like C.S. Lewis' non-children's books better.

Thanks, Kathryn!:) Yeah, it's really good- the tea and the book!;D I've read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and I've seen all of the movies.:) I loved the book and the movies, I want to read the rest of the series!:D
DeleteIf you read The Screwtape Letters, I bet you'll be adding new words to your vocabulary, he has a lot of words that I have no idea what they mean in there!;)
