Books to Read for 2014

I just went to look and see when the last time we wrote on this blog was and it's been almost 2 years.  That is crazy!  Why am blogging now after 2 years?  I think it will give me some accountability.  I'm not thinking anyone will still be checking this blog, but just putting a goal out here for anyone to possibly read makes me more likely to stick with it.

I don't have any big resolutions this year.  Last year, I made a list of books I'd like to read, but I didn't really stick with it.  This year, I went through my Kindle and realized how many books I have on there that I've never read.  I have downloaded lots of great books when they were either free or discounted with every intention to read them.  But I have a problem. I have ADD when it comes to books.  I love to read and read often, but I often buy a book only to get distracted by another book.  I have picked a mix of non-fiction (mostly Christian Living), biographies, and, I think, one fiction. Without further rambling, here are the 20 books (in addition to my Bible) I plan to read in 2014.   I'm sure I'll add others at some point, but I'm looking forward to reading these.
