    New Year's Resolutions

    This New Years I made a resolution to read 24 books in 2010.
    This means 2 books a month.
    The reason that I did this is because lately (the last couple of years) I've been so busy that I start books, read a lot of them, then get busy and don't read them for a week or so, can't remember what's happening, and then lose interest. With this goal, hopefully I will be motivated to finish what I've started.

    Here's my list so far (yes, I know I'm behind):
    1. Black (Ted Dekker)
    2. Red (Ted Dekker)
    3. White (Ted Dekker)
    4. Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austin)
    5. Retrospect (Hudson Taylor)
    Sadly, I also already have another list of books I've started and haven't finished yet... but I will soon... I hope...
    1. Chasing The Dragon (Jakkie Pullinger) 1/3 Read
    2. The Life of Trust (George Mueller) 1/4 Read (But it's really long...)
    3. Sense And Sensibility (Jane Austen) 31/32 Read
    4. Make Today Count (John Maxwell) 3/4 Read (This one is ironic because this is where I got the idea to read 24 books a year and its VERY short- like a one afternoon read)
    5. Lies Young Women Believe (DeMoss and Gresh) Just have the last chapter to read.
