2010 reading list
Inspired by my husband and Heidi of Mt. Hope Chronicles, I’ve decided to write down some reading goals for this year. To be honest, I don’t expect to read all of these and I do expect to read some others. But I think it will be a good process to write down some ideas and see what actually comes of it. This isn’t a huge list, by any means. But it’s somewhat varied and interesting. Some Christian, some non-fiction, some history, some fiction, some helpful-inspiration, some parenting, some photography. Let the reading begin!
Reading goals for 2010:
The Bible (English Standard Version)
The Screwtape Letters (again), by CS Lewis
Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer, by James L. Swanson
Band of Brothers, by Stephen E. Ambrose

The Help, by Kathryn Stockett
Sense and Sensibility, by Jane Austen
A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens
Fool-Proofing Your Life, by Jan Silvious
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families, by Stephen R Covey
Books I’ve started and plan to finish (or restart and then finish!):

That’s a great list, Elaine! You have a couple of my favorites on there… Tale of Two Cities, Bringing Up Boys… I’ve read some of The Screwtape Letters, and should really finish it! Happy reading in 2010!

Interesting list! I should make one too. I am reading some C.S.Lewis and N.T.Wright now and I will add some organization books and some travel books and some books about retirement, and some romances and some action thrillers, etc. I’ve made a list of things I want to accomplish. I plan to check them off as I do them. IT’s nice to have a fresh new year to move into.
