Book List for 2011

I moved the start of my annual book read-a-thon to January 1, so that it's a clean cut year. You'd think, though, being two months in to this said read-a-thon I would have already racked up a couple of books, at least, right?? Nope. Not really.
I am half way through a WONDERFUL book called, Feminine Appeal" by Carolyn Mahaney. This is proving to be a challenging book as I'm learning to look at my roles as mom, wife, partner, and child of God a little differently. Some of it is not "new" information but, said in just the right way at the right time, has been powerful, nonetheless.

Please note my disclaimer at the bottom of my list. Sometimes it's best not to plan EVERYTHING!

    ha,ha.. well, I'm neurotic! I think that helps a lot! LOL! I seem to always see books I want to read here and there or hear someone recommend but usually don't remember them, unless I write them down. So, then I started it as a goal list last year! I read 35 books during the year I turned 35 (well, that was the goal - more like 30, I think). Anyway, I paired down my quantity to make room for quality this year and I like having a place to keep my 'To Read' list. Ok, that explanation just solidified my neurosis! :)
