I never thought to keep track of those I read, wish I had.<br /><br />I know He has many names, but it was really neat to see Him in your post as Author. Sometimes I forget that very important thing, and it makes me attack my writing with more vigor. How cool to be that along with Him.<br /><br />Blessings and best to you in 2010!Janna Leadbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06339705935553160673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-13972746642342545882009-12-31T20:32:58.220-05:002009-12-31T20:32:58.220-05:00What a great list of books!

I've made it through 3 times. Sigh...I got through the NT and 1/2 of the OT this year. This year, I'm going to use a One Year Bible and read both NT and OT at the same time! :)Sherrinda Ketchersidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581676437345249386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-68141914372372499572009-12-31T14:48:50.348-05:002009-12-31T14:48:50.348-05:00I have read some of the books on your list, but no...I have read some of the books on your list, but not enough. I'm adding them to my 2010 list! LOL. <br /><br />I read ALOT -- partly because I work in a school board central library and select books to be used in novel sets. I'd say I read well over two hundred books this year between my work reads and my personal reads! (Of course some of those are children's and YA novels) I've kept a list (with reviews) for the work ones but not the personal ones. I'll have to try that this year.<br /><br />One of the reasons I'm able to read so much is that I take public transport to work. I've often missed my bus stop because I've been engrossed in a book. Now I have an attentive bus driver who gives me a friendly nudge if I don't notice my stop coming up.<br /><br />And, if I can put my librarian hat on for a second, don't forget to check out your public library for your favourite Christian authors. If they don't carry a title you're interested in, you can request the library to purchase a copy. My library will accept (and usually buy) books published in the last two years. Each patron is allowed to request up to five titles a month so my New Years resolution is to inundate my library with inspirational fiction requests. <br /><br />The two top books on my 2010 'must read'list are:<br /><br />1) Courting Morrow Little by Laur Franz<br /><br />2) Making Waves by Lorna Seilstad (debut novel)<br /><br />Both are due out in the summer and I can't wait!Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-88389480774318349262009-12-31T12:46:25.769-05:002009-12-31T12:46:25.769-05:00Hi Susan, I'm kind of a list keeper myself.

I try to read a book a week, but that's not always possible.<br /><br />Also, I'm reading my way through the Bible and journaling as I go. It will probably take me 2-3 years to get done. The Bible in a Year Plans are great, but this time I want to savor and chew on each passage.<br /><br />Happy New Year,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

And as you and Karen both said "so many books, so little time." Books are published so fast these days it makes me wonder about the days long ago when they were so few and far between that people actually re-read favorites and new ones were long anticipated. <br /><br />My new year is defintely starting off with some great books and I can't wait for CML to come out, can't be soon enough for me!<br /><br />Happy reading in 2010!Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-77286893161772492942009-12-31T10:39:01.039-05:002009-12-31T10:39:01.039-05:00Yes, Karen, staying in the Word is "mission c...Yes, Karen, staying in the Word is "mission critical"!.

Somehow between writing and research it gets shoved aside. Truly, so many great books, so little time:) Praying your new year starts off with some great books!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-20569557857135276822009-12-31T09:14:41.519-05:002009-12-31T09:14:41.519-05:00I've read a few books on the list, and have a ...I've read a few books on the list, and have a big stack of my own to read as well. So many books, so little time! :) I have several I must get to soon for review purposes, and several more I'm just itching to read. And yes, I plan to spend more time in the Word. This is a must for me to grow and stay on track. Blessings and Happy New Year to everyone!Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.com
