So my book counts holds at 26! I'll wait to declare victory in case Mommy Meg is speeding through five more books in the wee-hours before the New Year.
And in keeping with the spirit of the new year, here is my resolution: (Besides beating Mommy Meg in my book count....again...)
I am going to read The Bible from front cover to back.
I have never read it entirely. I have read chapters and parts here and there. But I got to thinking that as an Orthodox Christian who puts so much into her reading (ummm... I blog about), it's pretty ludicrous that I haven't read the entire Bible. And besides, as Mommy Meg discovered that she is expecting again (due in June), so she'll have the reading disadvantage of four small kids, I thought I'd give her the head start of me reading a book thousands of pages long.
So Happy New Year! And if you don't hear from me until March, you'll know what I'm reading.

Your book reading impresses me, especially because you have three little ones running around, taking up your time and distracting you. ;) I read the entire Bible one time and decided in November to do it again. Then I took a break in December to do some Advent devotionals and other things, but I'm back at it again. Maybe I'll try finishing the 6 other books I have sitting on my night stand since this summer, too...
I've read the Bible cover to cover twice. The first time it took me like 7 years to get through. The second time we did this thing at church where we read the entire Bible, cover to cover, in 90 days. That was 12 pages a day. I only had 2 kids at the time, & it was definitely a committment, but both Keith & I did it. My parents did it with us too, & they had never read it before. Good luck to you! It's a good read!
Still haven't started it! I'm finished a book I started in 2010...
Great New Year's resolution Kelly!
I'm a book-lover too. I'll look through your list for some new ideas!
