Books I Read in 2018

My goal was to read an average of one book a week. If you count children’s books, I exceeded that goal by far. Ha! Otherwise, we’ll blame only 31 books on binge-watching Gilmore Girls (for the first time!) when I could have been reading. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Here’s what I read:

• Robots and Empire by Isaac Asimov
• The Currents of Space by Isaac Asimov
• Pebble in the Sky by Isaac Asimov
• The Stars, Like Dust by Isaac Asimov
• Prelude to Foundation by Isaac Asimov
• Forward the Foundation by Isaac Asimov
• Foundation by Isaac Asimov
• Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov
• The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane
• Second Fountain by Isaac Asimov
• Laying Down the Rails by Sonya Shafer*
• Foundation’s Edge by Isaac Asimov
• Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov
• 2010: Odyssey Two by Arthur C. Clarke (I read 2001: A Space Odyssey in 2017 and watched the movie at a 50th anniversary showing this year)
• 2061: Odyssey Three by Arthur C. Clarke
• A Charlotte Mason Companion by Karen Andreola (for the second time)*
• 3001: The Final Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke
• Black by Ted Dekker
• Red by Ted Dekker
• Living Simply with Children by Marie Sherlock*
• White by Ted Dekker (My dad and I read through this trilogy and both decided we probably won’t read more by this author.)
• To Love, Honor, and Vacuum by Sheila Wray Gregoire
• How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish (So good that I bought a copy and review it periodically)*
• The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown (I know a lot of people love this book but it didn’t do much for me.)
• Teaching from Rest: A Homeschooler’s Guide to Unshakeable Peace by Sarah Mackenzie*
• A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Canon Doyle (for maybe the third time; also, I will forever picture Jeremy Brett when reading anything Sherlock Holmes)
• The Sign of Four by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
• Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain (for the second time)
• Depression: Looking Up from the Stubborn Darkness by Edward T. Welch (for a book study with friends)
• John Muir: Spiritual Writings selected with an Introduction by Tim Flinders (a great read if you find nature to be spiritually restorative)
• Homebody by Joanna Gaines

And I’m almost done with Introverts in the Church by Adam S. McHugh.

For 2019, I’ll keep my goal of an average of one book per week but focus on books that are above my children’s level that I might want them to read someday.

Happy 2019!
