Summer Reading Challenge
My friend De'Etta, over at Choosing Joy, has instigated a summer reading challenge. It looks like a lot of fun, so I decided I'd join in. If you are interested, please click the link (choosing joy) to read all the rules. It is going to be fun! And there are prizes :)
In the summer, I read a LOT of fluff, so don't mind that. I adore reading and always find time to read. My real challenge will be to keep my daily Bible reading and devotions consistent. So that is the top of my list!
Here is the list of things I have out from the library right now, plus a few others that I want to read over the summer. I may or may not read all of these. Some of them are new authors. If I am into something that I just don't like, I'll quit it lol. I've also heard of 3 new authors I may check out. But really, I need to finish up the new series I started.

Ah Summer! Happy Reading! You know if we are all reading Heartfelt Discipline maybe it should be the next book I discuss on the blog. LOL

I just read Lori Wick for the first time a few months back. I really, really liked it. I think I've read Every Storm, but I don't remember. She's really good.
I've read all the Sue Grafton & Janet Evanovich - really liked both of those series. Really fun & easy reading. My sister loves James Paterson & just lent me 1st to Die so that's going on my list too. :-)
