New Years Resoultions

So this year I decided that I was going to set a New Years Resolution for myself. I am not a reader, I never have been because I am a slow reader. I read everything really slow and sometimes I have to re-read things because I'm not focused on what I am reading. My Resolution was that I would read a new book every month of this year. So far I have the Twilight series this year. I really have liked it but I am drawing to the end of the series. I'm trying to come up with other books that I would like to read or that I should read. This is where I need your help. I'm looking for suggestions of good reads. I think I would like to get a wide range of books, so that is why I'm asking for suggestions. I know that everyone will have their own opinions of good books. I have a couple on my list already but if something better comes along I may move your suggestions to the top of my list. I'm hoping that by the end of the year that I will enjoy reading more and that maybe my speed will increase.

Here are a couple that I am thinking about reading at some point this year. Let me know what you think and any other suggestions that you have.



I always like Beth Moore. I've never read a book of hers. I've only done her Bible Studies. But I'm sure that I will enjoy this book just the same.



I'm interested in this book because it is a tragic true story of a group of people that climb Mt. Everest. I became interested in this story because I went to Nepal one summer and I got to see Mt. Everest. I loved being in Nepal. Being there was when I really started to sense God moving in my heart and my heart for the Nations and His people.

So let me know what suggestions that you have. There are still nine months left in the year and I don't want to miss any good books!

Ummm....there's always Harry Potter if you haven't read them. Or, there's the Eragon books - it's got dragons in it - and it's for teens, and teen books are by far the best! Other than that, I can give you recommendations for cancer books, but you don't want to read those. I am doing Beth Moore's book on Esther - so far so good. There's only a workbook right now though.

I like Jon Krakauer. I read Into Thin Air and Into the Wild. Recommend both books.

Enjoy reading!! We miss you, by the way~

Jacque, have you ever read The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom? I posted about it a month or two ago. If you haven't, it's a great read (and not a hard one).
