Reading List: 2011

Well friends, I'm still processing and trying to figure out if I can EVEN PUT INTO WORDS our amazing weekend at the Created for Care retreat with so many other amazing adoptive mommies. God is so good! In the meantime, I've been working on my "reading list" for this year. So, I thought I'd put it out here for you to see... make suggestions... and maybe join along. There's a few things you need to know about me as a reader. I do read for "pleasure" ... but I don't really read fiction... RARELY. Although I think one or two made the list this year! Also, I'm a BIG fan of reading with a purpose... I need to learn something about God, others, or myself. So, my main purpose is learning. That's why I read. boring, I know.

So.... here's my list... in no particular order, and some are "read agains" :
