mysterious islands and what

what are some books i'm missing out on? old books, new books, books that came out when i was five. books that will change my life or take me on adventure. open my eyes to a different kind of perspective on how to smile, or maybe in its fictionous way, teach me how to garden. i don't know. 

there's changing seasons in our lives, and right now we're here. God, i want to embrace right now with You, instead of chasing after what if and what then. 

"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." 

John 16:33
