I’ve always been a reader. I often have more than one book started, read cereal boxes and whatever other paper is sitting near, and notice typos in the world around me. I like lists too.

I think I need to learn how to read at a faster pace. 🙂 So many great books! I'm in the middle of Bittersweet by Shauna Niequist and love it just as much as I did her others. Not sure what will be next on my list. I only have about 100 between what I have on Kindle and in hard copy. lol. Have a beautiful day, friend. xoxo
I liked Bittersweet nearly as much as Bread and Wine. I still need to get her devotional. 🙂 There are so many good books out there – don't pressure yourself to read faster or more. Just enjoy what you get to read. There's always different seasons for that kind of thing. I have lots of choices too, but I still like to add suggestions to my Amazon Wish List, which I do sometimes consult while in the library. I'm always glad to see you here, sweet friend. Love you.
Oh, I love lists like this, Kristin. I have only read a few so have many to look into. Thanks.
Hope you find plenty you enjoy too!
Hello, friend! You know I love book posts. 🙂
I've spent several nights this month sitting watch at the hospital with a sick loved one, so I took my Kindle with me and read 2 really fun books:
Fiction: Dear Mr. Knightley
Memoir: The Antelope in the Living Room by Melanie Shankle
Earlier this year, I read The Fringe Hours by Jessica Turner (improvement/self help) and Chasing God by Angie Smith (Christian non-fiction).
2 great books I've started to read, but haven't finished — Joni and Ken: An Untold Love Story (Memoir) and Love Idol by Jennifer Dukes Lee (Christian nonfiction)
I've got a million other half read Christian nonfiction books laying around the house… I usually read a chapter at a time from those, so it takes me a while to finish them… but the goal is to read 12 by the end of the year.
I loved The Antelope in the Living Room. Really, I've loved all of Melanie's books. So funny and insightful! Chasing God is one of my all-time favorites and I loved The Fringe Hours too. Love Idol will forever be such a life-changing book for me. You'll want to finish that one. 🙂 Thanks sharing here – I love talking books too, obviously … 🙂 xoxo
