I read in 2009

As is customary at the beginning of every year, I blog the books that I have read the previous year. Here then the list:

Sue Grafton - D is for Deadbeat
Kate Furnivall - The Russian Concubine
Anita Shreve - The Pilot's Wife
Retha & Aldo McPherson - 'n Boodskap van God
Charles Sobczak - a Choice of Angels
Erika Murray-Theron - 'n Tapisserie met klein diere
Natasha Sutherland - Bittersoet
Debbie Macomber - Thursdays at eight
William P. Young - The Shack
Susan Coetzer - Oros vir die siel

Without making excuses for the pathetic little list (that was mostly read in the last two months of the year), I reckon that the year was emotionally eventful enough to occupy most of my time. I already have a stack of books ready for this year, just hope that I will have the enthusiasm to read and blog about them. One particular author that I look forward to meeting is Herman Charles Bosman. I also intend reading the Twilight series that is now all the rave. Thinking about it, I have been reading to a blind man for the past year, a novel that was written about the Bible. THAT was most certainly the best book and has been making Bible study pure JOY! More about that later. Love the fact that my husband is at this moment spending the last day of his holiday, reading. How fortunate I am to love a person that also loves reading and books. You should see our library, we will have to expand soon. Have I told you lately how much I love him? After a year of married life, our marriage is getting even better.

Reading in 2008

When I promised myself in 2008 that I would try to do more reading. . I did not have the slightest idea what turmoil the year would bring. . I only read 24 books and missed the target of 27. . my husband enjoys non-fiction and philosophy so let's see what this year's reading will entail. I'm actually quite excited about the type of books I now have access to, but I hope there will be a bit of light reading in between.
