In reply to Loren Pinilis. Those reading challenges really helped me get some hefty books read last year, like Les Mis and The Brothers Karamazov. I've wanted to read both of those for years, but I just needed an extra nudge, and the book challenges gave it to me. Hope they encourage you too.

Oh, love those links for book clubs. I’m trying to think now of my reading list for the rest of 2015.

I really enjoyed the different categories of books with those challenges in 2014, so I need to finalize my list again for this year. I do seriously love books.

Thanks for your prayers for my time with God. I’m so looking forward to it, even though I’m not sure what to expect. I just know it’ll be good. 🙂 It’s awesome that you do an annual silent retreat. I hope to continue to learn more from you this year, Jean.

In reply to Beverley. Yes, I find it much more interesting to read several books at a time too. That way if you're not in the mood for one book, just reach for another. :) Sounds like you have an interesting month....

Love how you categorize your reading lists. No wonder you get so much reading done. One goal I have this year is to spend more time reading. I do love to but often feel rushed or let it go until I am too tired to enjoy it. Bring on the books!! Your centering prayer retreat sounds wonderful. will hold you up in prayer for a fruitful time with God. I am hoping to do my annual silent retreat either in Feb or March and did sign up for a week long directed retreat in June based on Savary’s new book The New Spiritual Exercises. When I called the retreat center, all the rooms were booked already so thinking this must be really good to be filled so quickly. I am on the waiting list for a room but can stay at a nearby hotel if one doesn’t open up. lots of time year. Hope your Jan is opening up well for you.

I love the picture of your daughter praying. Sounds like a full but good start to the New Year for you, Lisa. I am looking forward to getting to know you better this coming year. Blessings. xoxo

I have busy reading too. Lisa. How was your Holiday.
I believe God to achieve more this new year by His Grace.

You look very busy Lisa and you read like i do, several books at a time :). My January is full of rolling changes for me, all i can do is allow myself to feel the peace within and wait upon God’s guidance and assurance that what i am doing is right.
