Books I started reading this year but for various reasons never finished:

- The Fitting Room by Kelly Minter
- The Discipline of Grace by Jerry Bridges
- Fields of the Fatherless by Tom Davis
- Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott
- Chasing Silhouettes by Emily Wierenga
- Daring Greatly by Brene Brown
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (previously read)
2012 was a year of leisure reading, which if I am honest, is more my style in the first place. I could not pick a “favorite” if I tried as all of them were my favorites at the time I was reading them, but as you can see, I love to read trilogies. I especially loved reading K. B. Hoyle’s books, as she is a local author that goes to church with me.
Bible Studies Read and Completed:
- James: Mercy Triumphs by Beth Moore
- Nehemiah: A Heart that Can Break by Kelly Minter
- Malachi: A Love that Never Fails by Lisa Harper
Again, I love to study the bible, and I love in-depth studies. I really respect each of these bible teachers, but I have to say the James study was my favorite, but the other two are close beside.
What books did you read in 2012?
i’ve been curious abut fitzpatrick’s give them grace, too. and you know, if i were ever to make a list, they’d all be in the category of “books i’m in the middle of” b/c it’s been many, many yrs since i read cover to cover. and since i’ve had the privilege of becoming a mom, i haven’t been able to read much at all. so the combo of those two realities equals a stack of books by my nightstand. the pile remains relatively the same from year to year, but what’s on top as my go-to book will change every once in a while. 😉 the one that’s been on top for the past year is dan allender’s bold love. i’m sure i’ve mentioned it to you before, but i think you’d eat. it. up.
Girl! You are a voracious reader! It was fun to read your list. I also read Hunger Games but haven’t read the following two.
So glad I read this today….didn’t know Angie Smith had a new book and ordered it right away. One of my favoirte authors. Also this year I loved Nicole Nordeman’s book: Love Story.
Great list, Jamie! I didn’t tackle as many books as I would’ve liked this year, but reading is my favorite pastime. I thought I’d say that I loved the Hunger Games…much more than the movie, and I went through the James Bible study, too. Hope you’re doing well, friend! Blessings
Hey Jaime,
I am impressed with all the books you’ve read…I read the two by Jeff Goins this year as well as Jane Eyre…lots of depth in C Bronte’s words…I wanted to read The Hunger Games…not yet…Happy New Year 🙂
