My Book List for 2013

I think it's fun to keep a book list for the year and then look back over it after the year is complete and see how many I was actually able to read. (Here's my list from 2012.)

Here's my bucketlist for twenty thirteen:

I actually just finished reading On a Wing and a Prayer (the story of Nate Saint) to the kids and it was soooo good. Couldn't wait to finish it...but then felt sad when we were done. I want to read more to the kids from this series.

I have sort of some bad habits when it comes to reading. As in, sometimes I don't finish a book for awhile but come back to it in spurts (or seasons of life)...all the while reading several books at once. I suppose that way different books fit my reading mood at the time. That being said, I'm in the middle of the following books:

• Shopping for Time: How to Do It All and NOT Be Overwhelmed
• Disciplines of a Godly Woman
• One Thousand Gifts (Reading this through for the 2nd time and I'm sure there will be more to come.)
• Educating the Whole Hearted Child (working my way through this still, but it is excellent)
• The Case for Classical Christian Education (we do not do a Classical approach to schooling, but it is literature based (Sonlight). However, I'm always up for learning new approaches and ideas! The same can be said for why I'm reading The Well Trained Mind below).
• The Well Trained Mind

And I'd like to start reading these books:

• Through Gates of Splendor I've heard about this one for years but after reading the story of Nate Saint I think I want to read this one too.)
• Teaching the Trivium: Christian Homeschooling in a Classical Style

I'm sure I'll come up with a few more books along the way, but this is it for now!

The kids have their own little reading series they're working through as you can see in the picture above...The Chronicles of Narnia!
