My Book List for June (and Probably July)

This has been a record reading year for me. I have devoured books in 2016 and am still going strong. I have already read 24 out of my yearly goal of 25 books. Now I want to see if I can get 52 books read this year. I have a huge new stack of books waiting and am going to do all I can to get through as many of them as I can in June. But, likely, these books will carry into July, as well. So what am I reading this summer?

The House on Tradd Street by Karen White

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

Glory Over Everything: Beyond the Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom

(I've been waiting for this sequel for years!)

The Shell Seekers by Rosamund Pilcher

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain

The Boston Girl by Anita Diamond

The Best Yes by Lysa Terkeurst

A New Year, the Same Me

Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year.
