Spring Reading Challenge


Janie at Seasonal Soundings is hosting the Spring Reading Challenge. It IS fun to set a reading goal and see how much is accomplished at the end of the season. I feel like a beginner next to the incredible lists I see from my blogging sisters!

Here I post my own humble list, kept necessarily small because I read aloud 2+ hours a day to my children, but also because I like to leave white space on my list for books I find by serendipity. Do you, too, find that wonderful books seem to fall into your hands by divine intention?

Here is my list:

  • Heaven by Randy Alcorn
  • Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
  • The One Year Book of Poetry
  • The Chosen by Chaim Potok
  • The Soloist by Mark Salzman

And these are books still in progress that are left over from the winter:

  • Wandering Through Winter by Edwin Way Teale
  • A Naturalist Buys an Old Farm by Edwin Way Teale
  • The Intellectual Life by A.G.Sertillanges, O.P.

The Soloist is a great book (everything by Mark Salzman is great!)

Enjoy!

Three books between us during the same challenge!

How about posting some thoughts on The Intellectual Life when you finish with it? I loved that book. It's one that is timeless.
