I have had a great year of reading! I have almost covered 20,000 pages of reading and discovered much literature I had never encountered! I was pleasantly surprised by the Hobbit (which we ALL as a family enjoyed!), learned more about Julia Child in "My Life In France", Discovered a new favorite book "Exodus" by Uris, saw more deeply the grotesque nature of the Cross in "crucifixion", was inspired by homesteading in "Letters of Woman Homesteader", was amazed once again by Austen and her insight into her understanding of human nature in "Lady Susan", and enjoyed re-reading a couple potter books and "The Hiding Place". I was also able to fit into the mix some fantasy reads and some Heyer...all around a good reading year.
