Hmmm…If I had more time, I’d just sit and read and read and read. I don’t have too much time, but when I do, you can find me read something…anything.
I was inspired by Mandi to make a To-Read list last year. Here are the books that I want to read in the near future, in no particular order…some of them, you may have noticed, are moved over from last year because I never got around to it.

What a wonderful book list! I have a bunch of those on mine. I have read the Help and I really enjoyed it. I’m in the middle of One Thousand Gifts and Grace for the Good Girl. Looking forward to meeting you in person soon!
I’ve been wanting to read The Help since it came out, but there’s a huge hold list at the library. =p I’m really hoping the library has some of these books because I don’t actually own most of them (yet). I found Heaven is For Real in the Friends of the Library section of $1, so that was a deal. Looking forward to meeting you too!
I loved the Hunger Games! Your book list is very similar to mine, I’m reading The Core this month!
‘Outliers’ is great as are his two other books ‘Blink’ and ‘The Tipping Point’. ‘Radical’ by Platt is on my list as well, really looking forward to reading that one!
I LOVE Jesus Calling! SO good!
The girls have to read The Hunger Games for 8th grade English. Amanda has been selected to be one of the tributes and we will need to get a tennis skirt as part of her costume for the games in December. Carina is a stylist. I read the book with them. None of us cared for the subject matter of the book. The girls are reading Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back by Todd Burpo for 8th grade Bible. They recently finished a booklet drawing about the new heaven.
