"I say I wanna give You glory Lord, and I do
But everything that I could ever find to offer comes from You
But if my darkness can praise Your light
You give me breath, and I'll give my life to sing Your praise" ~ Rich Mullins


~~~~May my life be a praise unto the Lord!~~~~

Spring Reading Thing


Here is my list for the Spring Reading Thing. It is an ambitious list, considering most of these are still on here since fall! Life just hasn’t led to as much reading time/energy lately. Plus, other books always find their way into my hands and my lists always change! But, I still want to get to these books, so I will keep them on the list, until I have time to get to them all!

My main goal is to read at least 10 books. That is how many books I have to read for the county library reading program to get a chance at cool prizes! J

As I read each book, I will write a review and will link to the review from this list. So, If you want to see what I thought of each book, check the list periodically for new links!

Looks like a good list! I always enjoy mysteries by Joanne Fluke and Diane Mott Davidson. Thanks for being part of SRT '08!

Your list is much more realistic than mine is, but I have learned that the way my little mind works is that I need to set an ultra challenging goal. If I achieve reading even 50% of my list this time around, I will be pleased - though the way things are going, I stand a fair chance of finishing it all for a change. Everything is feast or famine with me! I can't wait to have it warm enough to be able to move my office and most of my books back to the upstairs bedroom and loft, where I can read without being disturbed by the phone, etc. etc.

I really like A Year Without Made in China. It really makes you think about how you shop and what you buy. Can't wait to see what you think.
