During 2009, I read 54 books! You can see my book list here. I am so impressed with my reading and have learned so much through the books I read. I am so glad that I got back into reading. A few years ago I was barely reading any books, now I am generally reading several at a time.
So, my original goal last year was to read 75 books. I soon learned that that number was way over my head and changed my goal to 50. This year, I am going to try to read 60 books, a little over one book per week. (UPDATE: I failed miserably…but, I’m going to give myself a break since lots happened in my life!)
Below is a list of the books that I would like to read this year, I will continue adding books as I go.
If you have a 2010 Book List, make sure to leave a link in the comments below, I would love to check it out!

I'd love to hear what you think of The Mom I Want to Be. It's always great to connect with someone who is growing, reading 54 books a year, and who is seeking so much of what God has for her. Love your blog. Excited to meet you.
