In 2009 I read:
- Small portions of scripture each day most days
- Little House in the Big Woods with the Chloe (I’d love to get the set; Chloe loved them and so did I!!)
- Passionate Housewives Desperate for God (Which was an incredible blessing! Highly recommended!!)
- The Love Dare (only part of it)
- The Unfinished Gift and The Christmas Dog
- Many wonderful blogs!
Wish List for 2010:
Books I Have and Hope to Read:
- Living Life on Purpose by Lisa TerKeurst
- The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace (I am super excited to read this one though my knees are shaking at the prospect. This is one comprehensive looking book that came highly recommended!)
- Youniquely Woman by Kay Arthur, Emilie Barnes & Donna Otto
- Biblical Womanhood in the Home by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
- Habits of a Child’s Heart by Valerie Hess and Mari Watson
- With All Their Heart by Christine Yount
Refresher Reads (Previously read, would like to read again someday!)
- Loving God with All Your Mind by Elizabeth George
- Life Management for Busy Women by Elizabeth George
- Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey
- To Train Up a Child by Michael & Debi Pear
- Laying Down the Rails: A Charlotte Mason Habits Handbook
- The Early Years: A Charlotte Mason Preschool Handbook
- I don’t know why the above two books have a strike-out through them and it is frustrating me to no end! **grrr**
- The Early Years: A Charlotte Mason Preschool Handbook
- Steady Days by Jamie Martin (I read her blog Steady Mom and enjoy it greatly! This is her first book and it officially comes out in a few days!)
- No Greater Joy by Michael & Debi Pearl
Now I have a serious love for self-improvement books (my "self help" books as DH calls them) and I have to watch myself! I love books that give me fresh ideas for home-making or organization, or books the provide encouragment and motivation to a higher plain in my walk with the Lord, in my marriage or as a mother. I enjoy books that give me new ideas in teaching my tots about the Lord, life, crafts and education. And you know, I have to admit that reading blogs fills a good portion of these catagories but you know what is missing? Reading a nice story just for fun. My favorite kinds? Historical Christian Romance with a happy ending. My goal? Getting one of these in during the coming year!

I'm jealous of your library! You have so many books!! And those chairs look really comfortable.
That is an awesome library! How great to have a cozy place to work on this list!
Good luck with your reading. I know exactly what you mean about not reading much once you have a child. Well, not much in the adult genre anyway. And I love your library.
Fabulous! I love that you have a library. 🙂 I look forward to doing more reading this year as well. I'm posting my 2010 book list later this week. 🙂
