So, for the past few years I have
been trying to set up a list of books and read through them in a year. I’ve set a pretty unambitious goal of 24
books a year and yet, I have yet to meet my goal. I may read 24 books, but they are never all
of the ones on my list. 2015 was no
different.
Here is the post detailing my
book reading goals. I did pretty good in
the beginning, but then life happened.
We bought a house and farm that needs a LOT of work. I was accepted into two book launch
teams. We spent the summer with family
and friends with all our possessions in storage (still). And I got a job!
Here’s what I finished from my
list:
Here are the books I started,
but didn’t finish:
Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton
The Making of an Ordinary Saint
by Nathan Foster
The Hole in Our Holiness by Kevin
DeYoung*
And here are the ones I read
that weren’t on my list:
What’s So Amazing About Grace? by
Phillip Yancey
Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen
And a few other fiction books that were just quick, fun reads
All in all, not a great outing,
but at least I kept reading. Toward the
end of the year, things just got nuts and I didn’t get to do nearly as much as
I had hoped. I’ll be posting my new list
soon. I’m leaving several open spots
this year, at least at the beginning of the year. I hope to have them filled by March with
either recommendations from others or just wait and see what comes along my
path.
*I started The Hole in Our Holiness and didn't finish, but it wasn't on my original list.
