I’ve tried this before. Ya know, making a reading list for the new year.
It didn’t work so well.
But I’m trying again. Anyway. So there. I already have more than enough unread (and unfinished!) books on my shelf to read a different one each month. So that’s the plan.
The first one, I’m actually already a couple chapters into, so it should be an easy start, right?
- January ~ The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace *
- February ~ Praise Her in the Gates by Nancy Wilson
- March ~ Lies Women Believe by Nancy Leigh DeMoss *
- April ~ A Mom After God’s Own Heart by Elizabeth George
- May ~ The Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson
- June ~ Teach Them Diligently by Lou Priolo *
- July ~ Desiring God by John Piper *
- August ~ The Pleasures of God by John Piper
- September ~ Battling Unbelief by John Piper
- October ~ The Power of Prayer in a Believer’s Life by Charles Spurgeon
- November ~ 10 Questions to Diagnose Your Spiritual Health by Donald S. Whitney *
- December ~ Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper *
Whew! That’s not an easy list!! We’ll see how far I can get this time. 😉
What’s on YOUR reading list for 2009? Have you read any of these? What did you think of them?
* Begun but never finished, either by a little or a lot. **Update: How am I doing?? Horrible! It’s taking me much longer to finish a book than I anticipated between housekeeping and homeschooling and blogging and all that. I may have to, um, reconsider my list. This may end up being a list for 2009-2010. Then again.. maybe I can catch up. Who knows?? ….
Very interesting titles! I haven’t read any of those! I’ll have to check those out. I don’t have a reading list for this year, but I do have a few books I haven’t started yet, and a few started and unfinished as well (Jesus the Christ and Of Plymouth Plantation). Maybe I’ll add have to make a list and add some of these too!
Wow! Great list! I have read none of those, so I look forward to your review. I would like to say I have time to read a new book each month, but with four kids, homeschooling and a business, reading NEW books has gone by the wayside. Instead I tend to pick up books I have already read.

I’m sooo not able to keep reading lists, which is strange as much as I love to read. I dunno, I think it makes me feel like someone is telling me what to read (even if it IS my own list) so some inner child in me rebels. teehee
