It’s almost been three months since my Fall into Reading post.  I was originally going to post an update before our wedding….but let’s just say that the weeks leading up to our wedding were very busy.  And the post didn’t get written.  Obviously.  But here is a list of the books that I read since the post in October….

1. Beautiful in God’s Eyes by Elizabeth George

2. The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace

3. Intended for Pleasure by Ed Wheat, M.D. and Gaye Wheat

So…I got 2 out the original 12 checked off….plus one that wasn’t on the original list.  I am close to finishing Claim by Lisa Bergren and about 3/4ths of the way through Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.  Hopefully I can get those two finished soon and then have 4 out of the original 12 checked off.

Hmm…maybe I shouldn’t make so many ambitious book goals right before my wedding?  😉

I recently came across the Booking Through Thursday site and thought it was pretty neat.  🙂

Today’s questions are:

Of the books you own, what’s the biggest category/genre?
Is this also the category that you actually read the most?

Hmm.  *scans bookshelves*  My biggest category would have to be my biography section.  Most of them are biographies on missionaries, but I do have several military ones, and a couple on the Donner Party.  (One of my favorite biographies was one I read several years ago…If God Should Choose by Kristen Stagg.)

But….currently most of the books I’m reading are not from this category.  I’ve been reading a lot of marriage books (hmm, I wonder why?) and a couple Christian fiction books.  I did have the goal to read through my whole biography shelf…but so far…hasn’t happened….   Someday.  🙂

My sister Melinda posted recently about a reading challenge she is participating in.  I considered joining in on this challenge….but I think I’ve decided against it.  To be honest…I’m scared I wouldn’t make it!  Instead…I’m going to compile a list of books I want to read/finish reading before I get married.  That gives me a little less than three months to check off as many books as I can.

Which…basically is the essence of the reading challenge.  But somehow I feel like adding my name to the linky makes it more binding and scary.

So without further ado….my list of book reading goals for the next few months.  😀

1. The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace

2. The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian

3. Beautiful in God’s Eyes by Elizabeth George

4. Claim by Lisa T. Bergren

5. The Glamour of Grammar by Roy Peter Clark

6. The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

7. Man of the Family by Ralph Moody

8. The Guerrillas Have Taken Our Son by Chad and Pat Stendal

9. A Thousand Shall Fall by Susi Hasel Mundy

10. The Attributes of God by A.W. Pink

11. A Woman’s Call to Prayer by Elizabeth George

12. The Practice of Godliness by Jerry Bridges

Hmm….that looks a little ambitious to me.  I’m not the fastest reader ever.  We shall see.  Expect a report in December….that may or may not look completely different from this list.
