My 2010 New Year's Resolution is one that I am very excited about. Up until high school, I was an avid reader. My mom often tells the story of when I was a young child reading anything I could put my hands on; even to the point of reading the phone book. I have, over the last 5 years, said to myself over and over again, "I would really love to read {insert book title here}." The only problem has been that I don't set aside time to read. I haven't made it a priority. So a couple weeks before Christmas I found myself in a Christian book store looking for a book for my mother-in-law. I came across a book that my brother-in-law Jeremy recommended to me and I made the decision to buy it. It was something that needed to get done. I believe it was at that moment I decided to start reading again. Then I had another bright idea -- I need to make a commitment to read again. Out of that came my New Year's Resolution:
Read at least one book a month.
Over the last couple weeks I have been putting together a list of books that I have wanted to read and books that have been recommended by you, my friends and family. I tried to mix it up so I am reading a variety of genres, that way I don't get burnt out by one type of book. I also didn't limit my list to 12 books, because I am hoping to read more than one book a month. I know it's ambitious, but it's worth a shot. So here it is, the unveiling of my 2010 book list.
