For the love of reading

This is my spring/summer reading list

FOR FUN:
~The Twilight series, by Stephanie Meyers

Yes I jumped on that bandwagon. :) Totally not the kind of book I would usually read, and never thought I would read it. However I just finished the first one and I really enjoyed it. I borrowed it from a friend, but it is one that I wouldn't mind owning! It did take me about 2 and a half weeks to finish it (unlike most of my friends who read it in a day or two) because it is so hard for me to find the time to read. I am starting the next book in the series (New Moon) tonight. :)


~The Shack by William Young

This one is the next book to read on my list. My mother in law read it (and several others I know) and said I HAD to read it. I have heard mixed reviews about it, so I am interested to see what it is all about.





SPIRITUAL GROWTH:

~Hinds Feet on High places by Hannah Hannard

This is a book that has been sitting on my bookshelf for YEARS and I have never read it. I have been wanting to for a long time, and now seems to be the right time to do it for whatever reason.




~The complete Green Letters by Miles Stanford

I have read parts of this book over the years...first reading it in Bible school...but I have never finished it. I decided this summer to do a Bible study with a few other woman at church using this book. I HIGHLY recommend it.




CLASSICS:

~Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

I am a big fan of Jane Austen, my favorite being Pride and Prejudice. I thought this would be a good read to add to my list this summer.


I make a list like this every summer. Last summer I hardly got through any of the books that I wanted to read. I don't know how well I will do this year, but these are my goals. It may not seem like a lot (and trust me I would LOVE to read more), but I know this summer is going to be crazy busy...so we'll see how far I get.

How about you? Have you read any of these? What did you think? Do you have a list of books for the summer (or any time of year)? Do you have an good recommendations? What have you read recently?

Let me hear your thoughts!
