I didn’t read as many books as I would’ve liked to in 2014.  I mean, I did read a lot, but there are so many more books I wanted to read.  I guess that is what 2015 is for, right?!?

    Liked your list! Saw it on the Women with Intention linky party just now. I read 31, 32 and 35 and liked them all really well. After you read the books this year, you could add a page to your blog with a link at the top — like I did — to show everyone what you read. It’s also a good motivator to read more!

    Just read The Art Forger and really liked it – although I know nothing about art. Learned some interesting things!

    Being in a book club really helps expand my book horizons – am always glad I read those books, which I never would’ve picked myself. (See http://thoughtstipsandtales.com/2014/06/27/the-joy-of-being-in-a-book-club/)

    Good luck working your way through the list (especially with a job and two sons!)

      Thank you for the idea to add a page with all of the books I read throughout the year…I love it! I was in a book club and loved it but with work and the boys it would take back seat whenever something came up. I am genuinely trying to read more this year!

    Oh I love reading lists, thanks for sharing yours! I have a pinterest board where I am pinning all the books I am reading (as I read them). Do you have a post of books you read last year…any faves? I am currently reading “In the Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day” by Mark Batterson. Game Changer. Love it! Next up is Sally Clarkson’s “Own Your Life”! 🙂

      Creating a Pinterest board with the books you are currently reading is an awesome idea! I think I may do that as well!!! I have a post of the books I wanted to read in 2014 with completion dates (if completed to the right of the title and author). There are so many great books out there…I need more hours in the day!

    What a fab reading list. I have read a couple of those you’ve mentioned but I a few I’ve never heard of so I will definitely be checking them out.

    Last year was the first time in a long while that I actually made time to sit down and read, it was nice to have a bit of ‘me time’.

    Thanks so much for linking up with #readwithme hope to see you again 🙂
