Good Intentions–Andrea’s Book List

Ben and I each wrote out a list of books that we want to read in 2011.  We chose one book per month, and we will see how it goes.  We also decided on no TV/movies except on Friday or Saturday night.  That should aid our reading time!

Here is my reading list for 2011:

• January – finish Lies Women Believe (we’re studying this in our ladies prayer breakfast at church).
• February – Endurance by Alfred Lansing (fiction)
• March – finish A Chance to Die by Elisabeth Elliot
• April – A Passion for the Impossible (the life of Lillias Trotter)
• May – Unveiling Islam (I want to know more about the Muslim religion as we live in a Muslim neighborhood)
• June – Baby Wise so I can figure out a schedule for Baby #2
• July – no reading, new baby, no sleep
• August – Having A Mary Spirit in a Martha World
• September – Watership Down (fiction)
• October – Jungle Pilot (biography of Nate Saint)
• November – Lords of the Earth (missionary story)
• December – I will pick any Lori Wick novel to read for fun

Additionally, there are a few things I hope to accomplish this year.  I want to sew Elaine’s Easter dress this year (this is a VERY ambitious goal for me…we’ll see how it goes).  I would like to learn more about my camera so that I can take newborn pictures of the new baby.  And I want to stick absolutely to the budget this year – cravings or not!

I will try to write a monthly update post to let you know how we did on our reading goal!
