Notesocular-splendor asked: I would suggest Alan Watts' Buddhism: The Religion of No Religion, The Way of Zen, and Still The Mind. They are all amazing books, and probably my top three if I had to choose. If you happen across those, make sure to pick them up.:-)
I am publishing this one because I want everyone to see the recommendations you gave :) I will definitely be sure to check them out and start reading one soon.

Notesocular-splendor asked: I follow all three of your blogs, and wanted to thank you for always providing brilliant content in all three. Wanted to ask you, as a fellow follower of the Dharma, what are some of your favorite books on Buddhism?
Thank you so much love :) it makes me happy to know that you are enjoying them. Some of my favorite books on Buddhism that I’ve read so far are The Universe in a Single Atom by HH Dalai Lama, Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart by Mark Epstein, and one that I am almost finished with If the Buddha Got Stuck by Charlotte Kasl. These are some of my favorites because they aren’t solely information on Buddhist beliefs (although I like many of those too), these books combine Buddhism with other things I am interested in like science and psychology. They are also very practical and helpful in living a peaceful, dharma-filled life. :)

Notes"I still love books. Nothing a computer can do can compare to a book. You can’t really put a book on the Internet. Three companies have offered to put books by me on the Net, and I said, ‘If you can make something that has a nice jacket, nice paper with that nice smell, then we’ll talk.’ All the computer can give you is a manuscript. People don’t want to read manuscripts. They want to read books. Books smell good. They look good. You can press it to your bosom. You can carry it in your pocket."Ray Bradbury, from raybradbury.com article (via bookoasis)

Notes Reading: Buddhism for DummiesIt might seem silly but these books can actually be really helpful. So far I am loving this one and it makes the information easily accessible. I want to understand Buddhism as a whole as well as my own practice. Btw- going to a temple the first week of October and I can’t wait. :)
