more often than not SLEEP won.
Sure I read everyday but mainly my reading has been centered on reading chapters of the Bible and devotionals, read a-louds for the girls’ school, magazine articles, and blog posts. I am ready to rekindle the love I have of reading, I want more! I need to discipline myself to get back into reading. No, I need to discipline myself to getting to bed on time so that I do have time to read.
So, to kick off this months 12 Things I decided to challenge myself to read 12 books in 12 months. To get back into it slowly. I wanted to use books to help me in my Christian walk, my homemaker skills, and books just for enjoyment. Here's what I came up with in no particular order:
- Passionate Housewives Desperate For God by Jennie Chancey and Stacy McDonald
- It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff by Peter Walsh
- Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas
- Homeschooling at the Speed of Life: Balancing Home, School, and Family in the Real World by Marilyn Rockett
- The Complete Guide to Getting and Staying Organized by Karen Ehman
- A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
- The Marvelous Riches of Savoring Christ by Ruth Bryan
- Designing Your Home On A Budget by Emilie Barnes and Yoli Brogger
- Bringing up Girls by James Dobson
- Knowing God by J.I. Packer
- Speed Cleaning 101 by Laura Dellutri
- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
I have decided to read Passionate Housewives Desperate For God first. Do you have a love of reading? What good books have you read lately? I would love to hear your recommendations so I can continue to add to my list.
