52!!!!!!
That's the number of books I've read this year. Honestly, I was shocked when I counted! I know for some people that number is very low. For anyone interested, the book list is on the sidebar!
I began this year with a goal of reading 2 books a month which was a pretty lofty goal for me. I have a bad habit of starting way too many books and not finishing them. I also have a love-hate relationship with most fiction. I love a good story--but much of the fiction (that I've come across at least) is fluff at best. I want a good, can't put the book down kind of story! Adding to those is the sheer factor of time. I am sometimes not the best manager of my time, ahem.
I had no plan for reading. I just read whatever struck my interest at a given moment. The more I read, the more Iwantedhad to read!

So, for this year I think I may try to have a very loose plan. There are some things I really want to read, like C.S. Lewis for instance. Beyond The Chronicles of Narnia, I've not read anything else. This will be my next selection from the library as soon as it becomes available--love library wait lists!
I've got several books started that I'll (hopefully) finish within the month. Jeff and I are reading through John Piper's Desiring God. I've also been trying to read Little Women, which is Gracen's current literature book at school. Also on the started pile is this gem. I just started this and it has made me laugh out loud several times already.
So, do you make a reading list? Are there certain books that you love and re-read?
In case I don't blog again before Christmas--we wish you a very safe and very Merry Christmas!!
