Books I’ve Read-2014

I love reading. I always wish I had more time read…and I have even told my husband I wish I was paid to read!! (BTW, do you know any job description that says something like that?)

 

I would like to read one book a week at least, that will be my goal. Nevertheless with all the things I need to do as wife, work-at-home mom and student I need to give myself some grace 🙂 This is where I record my progress for the year.

 

Please leave a comment if you have read any of the books here listed, I would like to know your point of view {if you are a blogger and have a review on any, please feel free to link in the comments too). And also if you have some suggestions for me to add to my ever-growing “to read” list!

 

Thanks 🙂
