2012 Book List

I recently received some great advice from a lovely couple whom I admire and respect immensely, Mr. and Mrs. B.  I respect them for many, many reasons but the reason they should both be nominated for a Noble Peace Prize is because they have sat one row behind my insane family at church for the past 8 years. They have picked up spilled Cheerios, had miniature action figures fly past their heads, and have smelled smells that would make you doubt the existence of God.  We are that family.  And somehow they have stuck it out with us through four children in seven years.

God bless them.

Recently, they challenged a group of us to quit having kids read a lot and to keep track of the books that we read.  So that is exactly what I am doing.

I am not into writing reviews, so I will limit my commentary to a phrase or two. And if I hate a book I simply don't finish reading it, so these are the books I have read so far this year that did not get thrown across the room.  Your welcome, books.

Blue Like Jazz is the bible for college students so of course I had to read it.

















The Descendants is worth reading before you see the movie.  It's also worth reading if you enjoy hearing teenagers use the F-word.
















What woman doesn't love a good pregnancy/birth story? Couple that with Harvard, down-syndrome, despair and triumph and you have yourself a whole lotta drama.

This book could be called Extremely Weird and Incredibly Good.  Badum ching.

















Forgotten God is written by the Crazy Love dude.  It's a thinker.

















Funny in Farsi is fun, easy to read, and just made me happy.
















Do not be fooled by the title, Listening Is An Act Of Love is not some self help mumbo-jumbo.  It's a beautiful book.  Trust me, you should read this.










 
Do not, I repeat do not read this book unless you want your life to change.   The title could not be more accurate.  I kind of want to marry this book.

Meh.  I know this is a true story and all but just, meh.
