28 books I'd like to read this next year
Yes, I realize this may be a bit ambitious, this is a lot of books in one year, but I'm going to try and see what happens! I work best with a list, so I can cross things off, so here is my list!

Poisonwood Bible is one of my most favorite books ever. I hope it works out for you this time.
ReplyDeleteI just counted my "books I've read this year" and realized I've read 24. Feel free to look at my list for more ideas if you go beyond your 28. :) In the past, I've read a lot of fiction, but there are only a handful of fiction books on my list this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!!!
Guernsey is a quick read. I own it...I just can't remember who I loaned it to......Stay tuned.

Hi Sarah, I love this idea--a book for every year of your life! I confess I've only read five of the books on your list, so I look forward to hearing what you think of the others. Then I can add the worthwhile ones to my list!
ReplyDeleteSarah, In response to your Facebook query: I've read A Prayer for Owen Meany, Pride and Prejudice (which is one of my all time favorite books), The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (which I enjoyed very much), A Wrinkle in Time (another favorite), and Redeeming Love (probably not a great novel, but I was totally hooked and stayed up way too late finishing it!).
ReplyDeletePlease keep me posted about your year of reading ominivorously!
May not be your kind of read but one of my favorite speakers; Dinesh D'Souza. The book is called: What's so great about America?
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading the glass castle! We have to chat about that book. Happy reading ahead :)
