A 6 month reading update: 23 books in six months!

When 2012 began, I set a goal to read at least three books per month. After six months, I have actually far exceeded that goal! Many months, I read at least four books. I can assure you that I single-handedly kept our little library hopping with the Inter-library loan program!

Being intentional about reading regularly made a huge difference in how many books I have been reading.

Here's the rundown on the books I have read so far this year. Click on any link to read my thoughts about that particular book.

• Hannah's Hope
• The Happiness Project
• Quitter
• When Empty Arms Become a Heavy Burden
• Kisses from Katie (loved this book!)
• Eat That Frog
• The Infertility Companion
• The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
• Goals! How to Get Everything You Want Faster than You Ever Thought Possible
• A Love That Multiplies
• Please Stop Laughing at Me
• The Complete Idiot's Guide to Adoption
• Margin
• The Tightwad Gazette (and yes, I read the entire book - all 1,000+ pages!)
• Dear Birthmother
• The Meaning of Marriage
• He Remembers the Barren
• How My Soul Yearns: How God Brough Me Through Infertility
• Successful Adoption
• The Fiddler
• Write It Down, Make It Happen
• Pick Another Checkout Lane, Honey
• My Stubborn Heart (review posted on Monday)

*I also listened to the audiobook version of "Money Saving Mom's Budget."

In six months, I have read 23 books, for an average of 3.8 books per month! I am looking forward to reading many more books throughout the second half of 2012.
