Books – 2020 -2022
Much of my childhood was spent lost in a book. I read the library of my elementary school, worked in my high school library, and participated in summer reading programs after Mrs. Thompson opened the library world to me. As I grew older visits to the Birmingham Public Library were a treat. The architecture was beautiful and the books excited me!
I learned a lot in college but it did nothing for my love of reading. After I married and had my first child, Micah. I realized how much I missed reading. Winford Claiborne came to West Virginia to do a marriage workshop. He ignited my love for reading one again. Having a new born I knew finding reading time would be hard, I decided I could read one book a month.
This week I came across some reading lists of mine. I am sure I did not include all of the books I read. Still this was fun to find. My plan is to keep a list of the books I read and listen to this year. I have started the year off with a biography of George MacDonald my favorite author.
Here are some lists from years past.
