Fall Into Reading Challenge
Katrina has issued a challenge:
"The Fall Into Reading Challenge encourages you to set goals for your personal and/or family reading. Everyone who wants to participate will make a list of books that they'd like to read (or finish) during the next few months. We'll share these goals with each other, and then share our results at the end of the challenge."
So, let the challenge begin.
Being a former English teacher and loving books, I have tons on my shelves that have not been read. Sometimes I think I'm more of a book collector, seeing as how I don't have or make the time to read as often as I'd like with a one-year-old son in the house. But I'm taking Katrina's challenge to read more this fall, so here's my list, grouped into categories.
Bible Study: Wisdom for Mothers by Denise Glenn
Lord, Teach Me to Study the Bible in 28 Days by Kay Arthur
Lord, I Want to Know You by Kay Arthur
Fiction: A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
Divine by Karen Kingsbury
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (not pictured...I have misplaced my copy)
Nonfiction: The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
A Mother's Heart by Jean Fleming
The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie O'Martian
Soul Survivor by Philip Yancey
Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge
Several of the books listed I have started at one time or another but have not finished. I am already involved in Bible studies with the first two books in that category, but I want to persevere and finish those studies (I have a bad habit of starting things but not finishing them!).
My goal for reading with Caleb is to go to the library at least once every two weeks and read aloud to him every day.
I'll keep you updated on my progress, and, hopefully, there will be progress!
