But, I did complete several "chunky" books, like "<i>Middlemarch</i>", "<i>Passage</i>", and "<i>The Bible</i>". That took up a good portion of my time, as did the reading slump I went through, part-way through the year. :-?<br /><br />For next year's reading log, I've got a new blog! Please visit <a href="http://bookish08.wordpress.com">The Book Zone</a> to see what I'll read in 2008, and to keep up to date with the other bookish things of my reading life! ;)<br /><br />Lastly, for a complete overview of what I read in 2007, please visit my <a href="http://readingthroughtheyears.blogspot.com/2007/03/2007-reads.html">Reading Through the Years</a> blog! :)<br /><br />Thanks for being a faithful reader!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37897823-4947684125539047425?l=07mizbooksreads.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>VillageCafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15917285160371260440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37897823.post-67972346592865208252007-12-30T14:41:00.000-08:002007-12-30T14:50:47.870-08:00<a href="http://tinyurl.com/28sqys"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_FMssPe8sRsU/R3ggfWdi1XI/AAAAAAAAALM/lQdjm_-ZDK8/s200/Message+BibleinOneYear.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149901896875693426" /></a><br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/28sqys">The Daily Message: Through the Bible in One Year</a> edited by Eugene Peterson<br /><br />Date Finished: December 28, 2007<br />Pages: 1528<br />Rated: A<br />Cover: Hardcover<br />Owned?: yes<br />Reviewed?: no<br />Reason(s) for Reading: Always wanted to read through the entire Bible, and this version helped me to stick with it!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37897823-6797234659286520825?l=07mizbooksreads.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>VillageCafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15917285160371260440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37897823.post-63736921312426445862007-12-30T14:37:00.000-08:002007-12-30T14:41:00.775-08:00<a href="http://www.weightlossjoy.com"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_FMssPe8sRsU/R3gd8Gdi1VI/AAAAAAAAAK8/5qdmwyjUdSs/s200/100Days_WeightLoss.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149899092262049106" /></a><br /> <a href="http://www.weightlossjoy.com">100 Days of Weight Loss: The Secret to Being Successful on ANY Diet Plan</a> by Linda Spangle<br /><br />Date Finished: December 3, 2007<br />Pages: 220<br />Rated: A+<br />Genre: Health/Fitness/Motivation<br />Cover: Hardcover<br />Owned?: yes<br />Reviewed?: <a href="http://intuitive-eating.blogspot.com">yes</a><br />Reason(s) for Reading: needed motivation<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37897823-6373692131242644586?l=07mizbooksreads.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>VillageCafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15917285160371260440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37897823.post-66528577502935670952007-11-29T07:18:00.000-08:002007-11-29T07:21:45.079-08:00<a href="http://tinyurl.com/2wy2s4"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_FMssPe8sRsU/R07YhCZee1I/AAAAAAAAAK0/9LE4vvaOOQw/s200/HP_No1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138282286967323474" /></a><br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2wy2s4">Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone</a> by J.

Here's where I will catalog my list of books read for the year. I usually average about 55 books per year, but last year I fell short due to a few reading slumps, and my taking part in <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/userinfo.php?uid=148691">NaNoWriMo</a>.<br /><br />I read a great variety of books, except for erotica, westerns, sci fi, and books with a lot of foul-language... I just don't need to waste my time. ~*~ Usual genres include: Christian NonFiction, Christian Fiction, memoirs, biographies, regency romances, and general fiction. ~*~ I love books about Ancient Egypt, and those set in Regency England. ~*~ My favorite authors include Susan May Warren, Gaelen Foley, Christian Jacq, Lisa Wingate, and Karen Kingsbury. ~*~ I collect the Classics, hoping that someday my kids will want some "meaty" reading. ;o)<br /><br />Also, I review books. I'm a freelance reviewer for <a href="http://www.bethanyhouse.com">Bethany House</a> publishers, and a guest book reviewer over at <a href="http://bookreviewsforgod.blogspot.com">The Christian Book Report</a>. My <i>Bethany House</i> reviews can usually be found over on my <a href="http://villagecafe.blogspot.com">reviews blog</a>.<br /><br />Here's to a year of great reading! Oh, and be sure to check out the Sidebar for links to the <b>Challenges</b> I'm taking part in this year!<br /><br /><center><b>HAPPY READING!</b></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37897823-116542091049909858?l=07mizbooksreads.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>VillageCafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15917285160371260440noreply@blogger.com4
