Hello, Friday Fiction Friends!

Today, I want to talk about books. Well, duh. We always discuss books on Friday. I understand.

But these are books I haven’t read.

Winter is drawing close and I have 10 books that I want to read before spring arrives. My list is very eclectic because–well–I am.

I jump all over the place in my reading, though I try to digest a lot of MG, YA, and speculative.

So, in no particular order:

  1. The Secret Keepers of Old Depot Grocery by Amanda Cox.
  2. Wandering Soul–Luke’s Story by Fay Lamb
  3. Armor of Aletheia by Ralene Burke.
  4. The Compound by Gwenna McAllis.
  5. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith.
  6. The Escape Game by Marilyn Turk.
  7. Eat the Cookies…Buy the Shoes by Joyce Meyer
  8. The Hot Marble by Rosemary B. Althoff
  9. Blue Ridge Mountain Escape by Loretta Eidson
  10. The Tethered World by Heather L.L. Fitzgerald

I’ve also purchased a book journal from my friend and colleague, A.S. Hardin, that I will start in November when the reading begins. If you’d like one too, follow this link: My Reading Journal.

Now I want to know: What books are on your To-Be-Read pile? Do you set goals for how many books you want to read?
