September Reading List
I’ve been struggling a bit to keep up with my goal of reading a book a week, in part because I finish one book and don’t have anything lined up next. Then it occurred to me. Why not put together and share a reading list each month? Hopefully, doing so will inspire you to pick up a few more books, and maybe even write a list of your own! September Reading List The Great Hunt: The Great Hunt is book two of one of my favorite series of all time. I’m doing an “Elevenses” post about book one soon, and ever since I finished Eye of the World, I’ve been chomping…

5 Books You Should Read in 2016
In keeping with my unintentional theme this week, here are five books you should read this year! I love to read, and I love book suggestions, so I thought I would put together a list of my own. These books here are just a few of my favorites. 1) For any Lord of the Rings fans out there, I would really recommend picking up a copy of the Silmarillion. It’s a tough read–in fact, there were times I didn’t think I would make it all the way through! In the end, however, I’m glad I did. The depth that Tolkien put into his world is absolutely breathtaking. For those of…
