So I read this book which began with the idea of reading only from the books the author already owned for a year and ended with her making a list of perfect bookcase containing 40 books ~ and so I thought I'd make mine too; so in no particular order except #1 on her list gets top billing on mine too.

What a great idea! We have about 5 bookshelves full of books that I often think to myself "I really should read more of these". I'm not quite sure I'm ready to go to 'only' but perhaps I'll do an 'every other' for 2018.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow - what would be on my list? I have no idea. I'll have to think about this one.
I would have such a hard time getting my list down to 40! I do have a list I found online called the Best Catholics Books of All-Time. I've read many of them, but I still have a long way to go. Here's the list if you want to check it out. It was posted on Brandon Vogt's blog in 2011.
