Wrap-Up: Fall Into Reading 2010

Fall Into Reading 2010 is complete! It went by so fast . . . too fast even!

I didn't complete all of the books on my list, unfortunately. I eliminated two at the beginning of the challenge because I glanced at them and just realized that I didn't want to read them that much.

I enjoyed Crazy Love. It was eye-opening and convicting, and, after taking it with a grain of salt, I realized some things to work on in my relationship with Christ. Likewise, You Were Made to Make a Difference (the teen version of Outlive Your Life by Mas Lucado) gave me hope for myself and my generation.

My favorite book of the challenge? The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie of course!! It was more than I expected it to be, and I have the next book in the series, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag, sitting on my nightstand, waiting to be read. Alan Bradley is my new favorite mystery author.

I have not yet finished Notes on Nursing, but I am so close and hoping to finish it in the next couple of months. Out of The Christmas Box Collection I have read The Christmas Box and am almost finished with Timepiece. That still leaves me with The Letter, but it shouldn't take long to finish. My Son, the Savior is also on my list of books to finish. I am nearly done with it, and it has been a lot better than I thought it would. Fiction books about Jesus' birth and this one about Mary always make me suspicious, but I'm really liking Melody Carlson's upfront approach that she made the story up and that the purpose of the book is to consider that Mary was a real life woman and mother. I like that.

So, though I didn't complete every single book on my list, I had fun trying! Setting goals helped me immensely. And thanks to Katrina from Callapidder Days for making this challenge so fun! This was the first challenge of hers that I participated in, and I will definitely do more in the future.

Merry Christmas and Happy Reading!
