The Epic 100 Book Attempt of 2011
I have set a goal for myself this year of reading 100 books by the end of the year. I’m in school right now, but, when I’m not, I don’t always have tons of adult interaction to stimulate my mind. (That sentence sounds so nerdy.) It’s true, though. It’s important to me to keep my mind engaged amidst the sippy cups and diaper changes.
So, my number one way to do that is through reading. There’s no particular genre that I read. I like most stuff. I don’t read romance, Christian fiction, or science fiction, generally speaking. Although, I read a lot of science fiction recently when I was reading free Kindle classics. Jules Verne, anyone?
My intention is to share the titles to the books I read, with or without a review or recommendation. So, we’re three months in, and I’m a little behind. So, here’s my list so far, to the best of my memory, and in no real order. I may add to it if I recall other titles that I read.
1. Radical by David Platt
2. The Darkest Child: A Novel by Delores Phillips
3. Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue
4. Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls
5. Little Bee by Chris Cleave
6. Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families & Churches by Russell D. Moore
7. Imaginary Jesus by Matt Mikalatos
8. The Grand Weaver: How God Shapes Us Through the Events of Our Lives by Ravi Zacharias
9. The Awakening by Kate Chopin
10. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
11. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
12. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua
