Summer Reading Goals

 I've struggled this year with getting through my reading goals.  As much as I love to ready my time is limited so I tend to read good fiction books to relax with verses books that will help with growth that I have to think about while I read. 

For the summer, I picked out some books - both fiction and non-fiction - that I hope to get through.  It does help that we have a "required" reading time of 20 minutes every afternoon.  Plus, I've scheduled reading time in the morning for myself specifically to read my non-fiction books.  

Here's my stack of non-fiction which also includes my Bible Study Books.  I have a harder time getting through this stack.  If I don't purposefully sent aside time to read non-fiction I will not pick them up - I will always pick up a fiction book first.  

My stack of fiction books.  I should also add that I have some on my Kindle I'm reading as well as one on my phone!  Yes, I read different books on different devices so that wherever I am, I can read and I don't have to worry about trying to sync devices.  I tend to carry my Kindle with me and will read it when I'm sitting somewhere like the Library waiting for kids or the park.  Whereas the Kindle App on my phone I tend to use when reading in bed or reading outside sometimes. 

This is the actual book I'm reading right now.  I read this one every (well almost every) afternoon when we all sit down to read for 20 minutes.  

I would probably get all of these read and more if I was back at the condo in Pensacola, sitting on the balcony listening to the ocean all day HA!  Oh well, I'll have to settle for my swing and my house!!
