• March 2021 Reading List

    March 18, 2021 by

    I’ve decided to lighten my reading load a bit, and not over schedule like I have in the past. I still have a healthy stack I’m working through, but I’m not putting pressure on myself. I am also incorporating other resources that don’t require… Read more

  • New Year, New Start

    January 1, 2021 by

    I know 2020 has been rough for so many people. I think we are all hopeful and maybe even optimistic that 2021 has to be better. I’ve never been one for New Year’s Resolutions – they seem gimmicky and lose steam within weeks for… Read more

  • Review: nature’s best hope

    October 19, 2020 by

    I’ve just finished reading Douglas W. Tallamy’s Nature’s Best Hope, and I closed the book feeling inspired and motivated to walk my property and make a plan for adding a large variety of natives to support our local ecosystem. My general feeling is that,… Read more

  • Review: Rain Reign

    October 18, 2020 by

    We get a lot of mileage out of our Audible membership. The kids listen to books daily, my husband has his favorites, and I’ve got my audible TBR stack that’s only a little more under control than my printed book pile. I love all… Read more

Book mail! My amazon bucks kick in on the 3rd of each month and I am determined to only use these funds for books, and not spend cash. Since No Book Buying 2021 isn’t really working out so well, this is a good way to limit. Sounds convincing, right? Now if I can just tackle my TBR stack... #personalscholar #homelibrary #readinglist2021 #buyallthebooks
Today’s reading is in Psalms 35:19-28. #2021readinglist #christianity #psalms #devotional #thesongsofjesus
Book mail! Ok, I know it is No Buying Books 2021, and this is the second book order in a week, but there is a perfectly reasonable explanation... I use my amazon prime visa for my purchases instead of my debit card, paying the balance each week. I do this to earn points that then become cash available to spend on amazon each month. My goal is to only use my “amazon bucks” for book purchases each month. I accidentally checked the wrong box and didn’t use my points for the first order. And I couldn’t just leave those points unused and unappreciated, so I grabbed a few more books from my TBR list. See, totally reasonable explanation. #personalscholar #2021readinglist #homelibrary #buyallthebooks
I’ve always read the Psalms from my Bible. But reading from a Psalter is such a different experience. I’m reading through, along with Tim Keller’s psalms devotional, The Songs of Jesus. #christianity #psalms #psalter #thesongsofjesus
Book mail! I’m going to keep telling myself No Buying Books in 2021. It doesn’t actually stop me from buying books (!) but I do seem to buy less. I’m gonna count that as progress! I think Dietrich Bonhoeffer is my Literary Mentor for the year. This is my first Thurman book. #personalscholar #2021readinglist #christianliving #bonhoeffer #howardthurman
Excerpts from the Biographical Sketch (written by Eberhard Bethge) included in Bonhoeffer’s Psalms. Psalms is a short read but packs quite a big punch. #bonhoeffer #psalms #christiantheology #prayer
