I know there are sights like goodreads that you can keep track of the books that you read but I am sticking with the good old blog. Check back to see as my completed books grows. As always many of the links are affiliate links and any support would be greatly appreciated.
Reading lists from 2013 and 2014.
This years reading list:
1. Joy to the World by Scott Hahn---I think Jen reviews this book better than I ever could. I copletely agree that this book paints a more in depth picture of the characters of the nativity store. It is a quick, easy read and will probably be reread each year as part of my advent. Read it and be in awe of the incarnation all over again.
2. The Red Tent by Anita Diamant---This book is....interesting. I decided to read it because it was about some of the untold stories of the female characters of the bible and their role as midwives. Great combo. I almost gave the book up about 25% of the way through but decided to keep trucking on. I don't regret it but while the book is good it is by no means great in my opinion. In addition, it has periods of being rather mature. Has anyone else read this? What were your thoughts?
3. Ordinary Lives, Extrodinary Mission by John R. Woof---Read the review here.
4.We are Liars by E. Lockhart--- A quick easy read that keeps you entertained. However I was not prepared for the twist at the end.
5. Something Other Than God by Jennifer Fulwiler--- I read this book less than a year but enjoyed it so much that I have already reread it. I enjoyed it just as much if not more the second time through. It is so beautiful to read Truth and the light of Christ shining. Read my review from the first read through here.
6. The Giver by Lois Lowry----Somehow I had missed out on reading this book in high school which is rather unfortunate. I was so fascinated by the predictive qualities of this book. The suppressing pills, the lack of memories, the control-all so fascinating. The whole time I was reading it I wanted to have a high school discussion about it.
7. The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion---I liked this easy reading fiction so much that I am reading the second book in the series now. Not only did I enjoy it but it also inspired me to learn how to make cocktails.
8. Come Be My Light by Mother Theresa--You know those books that sit and sit and sit on your nightstand and you only pick up here and there but when you do you wonder why you don't read it more. Here is that book. Which why wouldn't I want to read the personal writings of a woman on the path to sainthood?! This book is full of line after line with Mother Theresa's desire to do the Lord's will despite personal struggles.
