My goal for reading this year was to read 52 books or more in 2012. That is one book a week. I am proud that I am doing so well. I am currently reading 9 books. One for a review I am doing in July, one left over from school, some for personal reading, some for devotions. Some will be finished in a few days, some will be finished in a few weeks, some will not be finished until the end of the year. I really wanted to finish reading With Wolfe in Canada by G.A. Henty in June. I had plans to read a History book for my own knowledge this summer but I don't know if I will get it done before school starts because I have a book I am reviewing that I have to read first.
I love reading!
You can explore so much of our past and present and gain so much knowledge and encouragement! Also, reading is and can be Fun!Read A Book Today!
Each month for the Reading Challenge we are supposed to do an update and link up. This month I read....
I got this book free for Kindle at Amazon. It was a very good book. I would classify it as a Christian mystery/thriller type of book. There was human trafficking, kidnapping and there is also a little romance thrown in.
I have read this book before. I was happy to read it again and pray the prayers for my husband. I prayed the prayers again in June, 30 chapters in 30 days, for his Father's Day gift, because I don't have money for a gift. The chapters and prayers give me insight into my husband and help me to pray for him with more empathy and with wisdom.
I love, love, love the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn. In this book of the series one of the sisters and her friend help the high school poetry club publish a poetry magazine. They also help a family deal with some hard news about the health of one of their children. I love that these are such good moral stories with a real spiritual emphasis.
I will not be telling you too much about this book as I will be doing a review on it soon. I will say that I LOVED it. I was hooked part way through chapter 2. This book has it all. Stay tuned for a full review.
That is 4 books in June!! That made 34/52 books for the year. I am 8 books ahead of schedule!

Woohoo! You are doing so great at keeping to your goals. :D Thanks for your faithful participation! My hope is to get a little more reading done in July than in June.
ReplyDeleteBut...I just got a very exciting surprise: my sister (who lives literally on the other side of the world from me)is home in the states. It is the best birthday present ever, and I'm obviously a little distracted catching up on the three years we've been so far apart. :)
