Books in 2008

Many bloggers keep track of the books they read on their sidebar. I always enjoy reading book reviews by my favorite bloggers. So this year I'm planning on keeping records of my own. When I finish a book, I'll put it on the sidebar. I would like to try and write a little review too. We'll see.

A while ago Alicia tagged me with another Book Meme. Here's my answers to the questions.

My current reading:
Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey
Pleasing People By Lou Priolo
Teach Them Diligently By Lou Priolo
A Hunger For God By John Piper
If All the Swords in England by Barbara Willard (With Evan)
Age of Opportunity by Paul David Tripp (With Sean)
Honey For A Child's Heart by Gladys Hunt

Number of Books You Own:
I don't know for sure. I'm guessing around 3,000. I'd like to join LibraryThing to keep track.

Last Book I Finished:
The Hidden Smile of God: The Fruit of Affliction in the Lives of John Bunyan, William Cowper, and David Brainerd by John Piper

This was a wonderful set of biographies that was very encouraging.

Last Book I Bought:
Knitting Never Felt Better and Last Minute Knitted Gifts (bought as a present for my sister-in-law).

Five Most Meaningful Books:
I get something out of just about every book that I read. To have to think about 5 that are most meaningful would take so long that I would never have this meme done. So I'm wimping out and not answering this one. If you'd like my opinion on a specific type of book (ie. marriage, children's, or fiction) just ask and I can answer that!

Five Favorite Books:
1. The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
2. The Fisherman's Lady by George MacDonald
