Summer Book List

The books at the top of my priority list right now.

Ever since I was a small child, I have been an avid reader. At one point, I usually had anywhere from one to four books on the go at one time.

Since becoming a busy homemaker and self-employed entrepreneur, I have had less and less time to indulge in hours-long reading sessions, so most of my reading time is in bits and pieces—a few snippets of a magazine article while using the bathroom. “Mommy needs a break,” Jason tells the kids when I head in there.

I end up saving up my books-to-read until the blissful, lazy days of summer arrive and I can afford the time indulged in reading. This photo is of a few books I plan to go through this summer.

Of note:

• Christ the Lord by Anne Rice

• A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers

• Persuasion by Jane Austen

• The Stairway to Heaven by Zecharia Sitchin

Also on the list but not pictured:

• Tess of the d’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy

• Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

• The Missing Gospels by Bock

And perhaps I’ll re-read some old, long-ago favourites such as:

• The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge

• Braveheart by Randall Wallace

• Pay It Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde

• The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo

I can hardly wait to immerse myself in words, words, words!

How am I going to do this with all the other things I also want to accomplish this summer?

Answer: One book at a time.

I am teaching two classes this upcoming weekend at our local scrapbooking retreat. One is about journaling, and one is called “Recycled Embellishments". I have just finished the class project demo layout for the Embellishment class, and am now displaying it for your viewing pleasure.
