I haven’t posted a list of current books I’m reading in a long time, mostly because, for a long time, I was limiting myself to just one book, besides my Bible, trying to break the habit of neglecting the Most Important Book for all the others. Now that I have been branching out again and reading more than one book at a time, my reading list might make a post longer than one paragraph! Hopefully, I’ll be posting full reviews of most of these in the future. :)
The Bible: Certainly the most important of all, by the help of the LORD, I have been making this number one of my priority list.
A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett by Himself: I’m reading this book as part of my American History study. It’s been interesting so far. I would have probably finished it by now, but since I haven’t been home much lately, so I still have a 1/3 of it to go.
The Five Love Languages of Children: This is a good and insightful book about how to relate to others, and show your love for them using their language of love. A little repetitive, it’s still quite good.
The Curate’s Awakening by George MacDonald: I have only just begun this book by George MacDonald, and so far I’m liking it. Since I’m only in the third or fourth chapter, I don’t have a whole lot to say about it, but at this point, it’s a very “thinking” novel, which I like.
The Basics of Music: I’m slowly making my way through this one while studying music. There are several things in it that I don’t understand very well, studying on my own, but since it is meant to be used with a teacher, I think that overall it’s pretty good.
Bleak House by Charles Dickens: I’m actually reading this one to my sisters – and it’s taking a lot longer than I expected!! I do enjoy Mr. Dickens books, but this one seems a bit more wordy than some of his others… We’re still enjoying it though.
That’s all I think. Anyone else reading any of these?
To the KING be all the glory!
The only one I am reading from your list is the Bible. Just recently I went through a love language thing with the family. I think Bleak House would be interesting. Happy Reading!
Cool list!I know what you mean about Dickens being “wordy”. Sometimes I think he gets carried away. :)
Great reading list!!! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on them. :)

I like Dickens a lot as well, but he loses me with all his descriptions.
He also encourages me to pick my words with more care, creating a wider vocabulary.
@Kayla;
Has Jamie finished any of her books yet?
