Last year I attempted to keep a record of the books that I'd read through the year here. It was fun to keep track, and I like reading other's book lists and getting ideas, so I figured I do it again this year.
January
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte I loved it and blogged all about it here.
The Shaping of a Christian Family by Elisabeth Elliot Part biographical, part autobiographical, I was challenged, inspired, and encouraged by reading about Elisabeth Elliot's upbringing, which is quite different from my own. If you adore Elisabeth Elliot, you'd enjoy this book.
Anne of Green Gables by L.M.Montgomery No matter how many times I read this book, I never tire of it. I have more than half of it memorized, and continue to relate to this beloved Anne-girl. My husband watched the movie with me last year, and gained so much insight into who I am. Seriously. He laughed at all the most serious parts because the resemblance was uncany! After 11 years of marriage he knows me well, he just hadn't been introduced to my literary counterpart yet. :) If by some chance you've never read it yourself, you've got to do it!
So what've you been reading? Got any recommendations for me? Which books can you read over and over again? To what literary character do you most relate? Talk to me |
