Hey everyone! I joined this forum just to ask this question. Anyways, I'm in my late teens and I really wanted to find a lot of books that I am interested in. I have a wonderful boyfriend and we are probably going to get engaged later this year and I am really excited to spend the rest of my life with him. Also, I might be moving out from my parents' house if I get a full time job this year! Okay, so the reason I am asking here is beause I am the type of person who wants to do everything right and I love to have reference books to learn how to do stuff and keep easily accessible...and also just to have some interesting reading. I'll start off very general at first then get more specific in the types of books I like. First, I want to read books that tell me basically how to do everything I need to do to be a homeowner/wife/parent/cook/etc. I know I'm a little early for the child stuff, but I still find it very interesting and I babysit a lot of kids so it might be helpful anyways.
Okay...so now I'll get more specific:
Traveling:
I want to read some books that are about really interesting places around the USA. Like, for example, road trips, awesome places to visit, travel tips, etc. My aunt has a book about all of the "biggest" places in the world (biggest ball of yarn, biggest chicken, etc.) I think books like that are soooo interesting and just fun to read.
Home:
I'm looking for books about how to clean stuff, take care of stuff, decorate, etc. I think there is a book about how to "clean virtually everything" or something like that. Anything like that would be really interesting.
Cook:
Anything really! What are your favorite cook books? I love books with a lot of pictures that show what the meal "should" look like. Again, I'm looking for more unique books such as (some examples that I do own) baking using candy bars, cooking using cake mixes, crazy cupcake books, etc.
Children:
I read a book that I thought was really interesting that had a "list for everything" for children. I'm not a parent yet, but I stayed there like 20 minutes just reading the book because it just had so much info that was interesting to me. It had like questions to ask babysitters, best cereal for kids, best meals for lunchboxes, etc. It just had so many lists of stuff it told you everything! Basically, any book that has info about kids and how to take care of them, their learning styles and abilities, what to do when "this" happens, etc. (Also, I want to be a teacher or school psychologist so this info will be helpful to me when I'm a parent and also will help me understand children for my career).
Okay, so you guys probably think I'm really weird asking about all this stuff right now, but I just love learning and I love reading unique and interesting books! Also, anything else that you might have that would be a good "coffeetable" book.
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any answers I get. I tried looking some of these books up on Amazon and other sites and couldn't really find anything so I'm hoping you guys might know first hand what some good books are.
