I have loved to read all my life, but this year Stacy and I made an effort to make a goal of reading more or reading a certain number of books in the year. I think we have both reached and gone beyond our goal. I have enjoyed most everything I’ve read, but most of what I’ve read has been Christian fiction…..with a few other things thrown in here and there. I guess I should get Stacy to put me a book counter or something on the side, like she has!
I’ve read several books by Nicholas Sparks; one by Maria Shriver, a small one she just had out this year; 10+ books by Karen Kingsbury…..liked all of them; a couple of books by Terri Blackstock, who is a Mississippi writer from Clinton I think; a Stephanie Plum Christmas type book, which I did NOT like at all; the Wayward Wind Series by Brock and Bodie Thoene; the Love Comes Softly Series (8 books) and the Canadian West Series (5 or 6 books) by Janette Oke, frontier or prairie type stories that I really enjoyed, even more than I first thought I would; and now I’m on a series called A Place Called Home by Lori Wick, I’ve read two so far and that brings my total for the year to……………..38 books! Pretty good I think and most of the time, it’s better than watching tv!

WOW, that is really a lot. Have you read the Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd?
I am going to read Oprah’s newest pick on my trip to the “burg.

That is a lot of books Gail! You’ll read more than me this year, easy. I’m reading the Zion ones now and they are longer, so I probably won’t read but 2 or 3 more all year. Once it gets to be the holidays, I probably won’t read as much.
Anyway, I added your book counter and also two sections to your sidebar for you — Currently Reading and Up Next to Read. Hope you like them! 🙂
