Read



I love to read; it's good for my brain and good for my heart.  Some books, simply by their cover or quotes, bring back memories and emotions from different seasons of my life because I was reading them during that time.  My book list usually consists of fiction (classics) or non-fiction for the purpose of sharpening/challenging me spiritually--my husband shares my love of reading and often contributes suggestions as well! 

This list is subject to change because of my ever-varying taste and time.  If you've read any of the titles below, please feel free to share and/or discuss them.  I would love to know your thoughts!
