2016 reads: One Year of Books!

I set out at the beginning of the year with my one word, "knowledge."  My goal was to display a love of learning to my boys because my hope is that they have a love of learning and a love of books too.  While I'll confess that I wasn't 100% all the time (who is?), I'm quite excited with habits built and proud of conquering the goal for the full year.

So what books did I read??  Here's the list.... I found that my preference was surprisingly not towards fiction and more towards growth and of course topics like homeschooling and my faith.  I mean, I'm in the trenches here, right?

Looking forward to picking up many more books in 2017, and I plan to throw in some more of the classics that my childhood missed.  What are you reading this year!?

• "Simply Tuesday" by Emily Freeman
• "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen
• "The Crazy Lives of Police Wives" by Carolyn Whiting and Carolyn LaRoche
• "Every Bitter Thing is Sweet" by Sara Hagerty
• "French Kids Eat Everything" by Karen LaBillon
• "Teaching From Rest" by Sarah Mackenzie
• "Becoming More" by Lysa Terkeurst
• "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon

November Reads

It's been a while since I've put out a book post.  I think I started too many at once which led to a whole lot of half finished at once.  Haha!  The goal for December is to wrap them all up by the end of the year because I have a little hunch that Christmas includes Amazon gift cards, and Amazon gift cards = more books on the Kindle!

Here's what I completed in November....

• "Improving Your Serve" by Charles Swindle
• "Love Your Life, Not Theirs" by Rachel Cruze
