I’m going through these a bit more slowly than I did last year. I limit myself to about two hours of work time a day, so that I’m not working while my kids are awake, which means that most of that time needs to go to actual writing and more concrete business matters. But these reviews and this blog are…
As far back as I can remember, my siblings and myself would fall asleep listening to books on tape (and yes, I’m old enough that it was actually audio cassettes). Our favorites were abridged versions of The Chronicles of Narnia, but later on we graduated to G. A. Henty titles on car trips, Focus on the Family radio dramas, and…
If you follow me on social media, you know that I surpassed my official goal of 50 books for the year some time ago. Specifically, I’m now at 73 books, which Goodreads says surpasses my goal by 146%. And I’m doing well enough on my current goal that I feel confident in sharing my real, secret goal: 100 books in…
I did it! It’s been awhile now since I finished, but I wanted to be sure to let all of you know that I made it — 50,000 words in the month of November! It was such an amazing journey — the most consistent writing I’ve ever done in my life. I kept on track with my daily word count…
Photo by picaland from FreeImages Just one more post after this, and I will have reviewed all 61 of my 2020 reads! I am glad I decided to do this — it’s been a great way to reflect over my books from last year. The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie After revisiting And Then There Were None, I…
Photo by Gary Tamin from FreeImages Five more reads today, then just two more posts after that! It’s been so fun going over all the books I read last year and sharing my thoughts with all of you. As always, let me know your thoughts if you’ve read any of these! The End by Lemony Snicket Finally, the end of…
Photo by bayek from FreeImages Another short post this time, which is good because I am feeling very tired today — chasing two toddlers around and growing a baby while still trying to take care of the household will have that effect on you! I’m still managing to get in quite a bit of reading though… maybe fodder for review…
Photo by m s from FreeImages Well, I didn’t get around to doing a post this weekend (pregnancy fatigue, aches, and pains meant that I mostly used the weekend to rest), which means this series of posts will probably leak into February — but honestly, I think that’s okay. It is a LOT of books to review in one month!…
Photo by Stasys EIDIEJUS from FreeImages Presenting… five more of my 2020 book reviews! This post will be a bit short because… well, you’ll see why as you read down the list. God’s Grace and the Homosexual Next Door: Reaching the Heart of the Gay Men and Women in Your World by Alan Chambers I bought this book many years…
Photo by DeleteAcc from FreeImages Halfway there! I’m really enjoying strolling through the memories of last year’s books, and feeling grateful for the opportunity to get so many read. Here are the next five! Shepherding a Child’s Heart by Tedd Tripp I had heard this recommended many times by many parents, and about the time I read it I was…
