2014 Reading List

Just before sunrise is so beautiful. I love this time of day. So quiet and peaceful before the bustle of the day.

Amanda inspires me with all her lists. I love lists too. At the end of last year she wrote her list of books she hoped to read in the new year and that inspired me to keep one for 2014. I'm so glad I did. I like looking back and seeing what I accomplished on the reading front!
