Cooler, shorter days lead to cooler, longer nights. As we gear up for the school routine, the promise of quiet evenings curled up with my favorite quilt and a good book brings a smile to my face. I am trying to be more intentional and more productive in my reading, and hoping a reading list will serve as an impetus to meeting this goal.
Non-Fiction:
~Small Wonder because Elizabeth has challenged me to read it.
~Kisses from Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption because her story touches me to the core.
~The Nine Day Queen of England: Lady Jane Grey because her story intrigues me
~Bringing It To The Table: On Farming and Food because my granddaddy was a farmer & Wendell Berry's writing captivates me.
Fiction:
~Little Women because it's been too long.
~Home because Lisa recommended it.
~Fahrenheit 451: A Novel because it's required for my girl this semester.
~The Giver because it's also required for my girl.
On Audio:
~The Poisonwood Bible because I've heard it's wonderful.
~John Adams because I admire him.
~A Tree Grows in Brooklyn because I've never read it & heard that I should.
~A Room With a View because I know I'll be craving something British.
For Study:
~A Woman's Wisdom: How the Book of Proverbs Speaks to Everything because I'm reading with Jessalyn.
~Gospel Wakefulness because I need it.
~A Proverbs Driven Life: Timeless Wisdom for Your Words, Work, Wealth, and Relationships because I need this, too.
~In Christ Alone: Living the Gospel Centered Life because my life needs a shift in focus.
~Practical Theology for Women: How Knowing God Makes a Difference in Our Daily Lives because I need a difference.

Great list, Melissa!
When do you like to listen to audio books? Do you listen to them in the car? I love listening to them, but I rarely drive (we only have one car (!)) so the opportunities for focusing on a story are few and far between. :(
Gospel Wakefulness looks really good!
Love your list.
I have read a few of those and some others I just added to my tbr list :)
I would love to hear how you like The Poisonwood Bible.
Love you <3
Gospel Wakefulness is fantastic! One of the best I've read this year!
Did I recommend The Discovery? I can't remember! I read it but I didn't love it. A book blogger friend recommended it to me.
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, now I do recommend that one! And John Adams. Both are wonderful.
Happy reading!
