End of the Year Review

Well the end of the year has come and I have fallen just two books short of my goal! Either way, this was an eye opening experience no doubt. This year I read over 20,000 pages, mixed books of both fiction and nonfiction, gotten better at reading, immersed myself in interesting topics and books, and expanded my already rather large (considering I am only 25) library. I also fell only 11 or so book reviews short of my goal and I hope to remedy this next year as well. The following is my list of books read this year:

1) Cross of Christ 

2) Washington 

3) Strange Fire 

4) When We Were a Consuming Fire 

5) Starship Troopers

Altbough I say I fell two books short, this is not exactly true. Some of the books I read (including books for school and others I did not put on my list or forgot about) I have not included here. So suffice it to say that this is a monumental accomplishment in my short life that I am pretty proud about. My goal for this next year is to start completely over and I hope to read at least 60 books this year! 

Thanks for everyone who took time to read my blog on book reviews. The most popular was ironically also my first: the Strange Fire book review by John MacArthur with over 51 views. The second most seen was the book, The Cross of Christ  by John Stott with over 30 views. Altogether, over 890 views have been recorded on this blog. That is fantastic! I never thought I would even see 100 views so thank you again for reading! A happy New Year to all!
