Books, Books and More Books

and more books and more books…

Can you ever have too many books? From my perspective, possibly.  From my husband’s, absolutely not.

I want to read all these great books but where’s the time?!  I know, I know.  I have the time I just don’t make the time.

I do Bible study every morning for 30-45 minutes (the 4 chapters designated from For the Love of God), I read out loud to the kids in the morning and on good days in the afternoon, we do Bible study at night and Michael reads out loud before bed.  So, I’m “reading” just not that cozy-up-with-a-good-book reading.

I know there will be a day when my life will be more flexible…like when all the kids are out of the house.

Until then, I will gaze upon the bookshelves and dream about the stories and adventures that lie within.

Oh, and the real reason for this post is to end my guilt about never updating the Books We’re Reading category.  I can’t keep up with Michael and Haley.  Haley’s a beast.  Michael’s just dedicated.

Instead of updating here are labeled bookshelves filled with books that have been, are being or will be read. :)

As you can see we buy a lot of books.  After much research, Michael has found the best place to buy most books is Christianbook.com.  Other places we buy from: wtsbooks.com, amazon.com, monergismbooks.com, and I’m sure others that I’m forgetting.

Looks like I see some gaps on those shelves. Better get to filling them in fast, while books are still being made!

I recognize some of those books on the “Biographies” shelf. :) Last night when the storm knocked out the power, I sat and read a book. It was quiet and I couldn’t sleep. It was so nice to have a minute to read, but I sure wouldn’t trade it for the days while the kids are still little. That’s really the good stuff. Lisa~

Hi there – loved this entry on books – I too have shelves of books that aren’t getting read with my new little 3.5 month old to take care of… I love the pictures of your shelves – you are much more organized than I am, and I may have to borrow some of your categories! :) I also like the suggestion for devotional reading – I will put that on my list! :) PS: got your post on my blog and from your recommendation, I agree, the red links ARE difficult to read so I changed them to a light brown color. Thank you!
