This year in addition to doing my New Year's Resolutions and One-Year Plan, I have decided to set out a to-read list for myself for the new year! I hope to read at least the books below. However, if I do end up studying abroad in Fall 2014, this number might become lower by default! (I'm not complaining :))
If you're interested, check these out with me!
The Nature Principle-- Richard Louv
I read the beginning chapters of this book in my Philosophy
of Self class last spring. I was completely intrigued by the idea that being
out in nature could be something my heart longs for. I can't wait to learn
more!
Anne of Green Gables-- L. M. Montgomery Completed February 8th
A classic story that I have sadly never read. I think it's
about time I got into it! (Perhaps I'll read Little Women next year...)
I Am Malala—Malala Yousafzai
The autobiography of the year. Promises to be a great read,
and probably very inspiring!
Mere Christianity—C. S. Lewis
I have recently been very interested in getting into some C.
S. Lewis theology, and after much research this is where I have decided to
start. As the foremost writer on Christian doctrine (and a man who wrote one
amazing fantasy series), I think Lewis will provide a great read.
Love Does—Bob Goff
This appears to be a very heart-warming and inspiring story
of one man who led one very extraordinary life. I can’t wait to read about all
of his stunning adventures, and learn all about his positive outlook!
The Cuckoo’s Calling—JKR
I couldn’t call myself a loyal fan if I didn’t at least give
this a try! I didn’t care for ‘A Casual Vacancy’ at all, but I am excited to
see what this new work is like.
Fearless Girls, Wise Women, and Beloved Sisters: Heroines in
Folktales from Around the World—Kathleen Ragan
I seriously adore folk and fairy tales, especially those
that allow me to explore other cultures and perspectives. I ran across this
book last summer in a Chicago bookstore and am still thinking about reading it
to this day! I think that’s a good sign. I can’t wait to get into this
collection of tales all about women.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood
Prince, and Deathly Hallows—JKR
OOTP Completed March 11
OOTP Completed March 11
I began re-reading the series this past summer and didn’t
finish. Hopefully I get these re-read soon!
What books are you excited to read in 2014? Let me know below!
