2012 Reads

This post may be completely boring but I want to start documenting the books I am reading.  I have been an avid reader since I was a child and am trying to be more diligent in this area.  {Translation: stop watching those addictive reality tv shows!}  I can remember telling people that I wanted to be a writer and a librarian when I grew up...nerd alert! 

The majority of my reads these days tend to be focused on marriage and motherhood, so maybe it will help others currently on the same path.  Plus there are a few photography and fiction novels sprinkled in the list just to keep the Self-Help category from being too daunting.  ;) Feel free to suggest books or blogs that are interesting - I am always looking for the next thing, even if it takes me a while to plow through it.  

Here is my 2012 list so far and I hope to add more and more. 

Praise Her In the Gates  Nancy Wilson

Loving the Little Years  Rachel Jankovic

Kisses From Katie  Katie Davis

A Mom After God's Own Heart  Elizabeth George

Folly Beach  Dorothea Benton Frank

The Best of Me  Nicholas Sparks

The Shaping of a Christian Family  Elisabeth Elliot

The Bathtub is Overflowing but I Feel Drained  Lysa Terkheurst

As my children get older I want to record their favorite books from year to year.  Please recommend any good children's books that are good read alouds and I will also pass on the ones I find to be encouraging.
Here's to a summer with our noses buried in page turners and not the fixated to the flat screen!
