Intentional Reading

This past spring and summer, I have participated in the reading challenges presented by Janie at Seasonal Soundings. She is no longer available to host the challenges, but, as I have found that intentional reading lists have dramatically improved my reading, I would like to continue with a fresh list for this fall.

Next week, I will post both my wrap-up for the Summer Reading Challenge and my Autumn Intentional Reading List. If anyone would like to join me, I would love to see your intentional reading lists! It doesn't matter if the list is long, short, simple, or ambitious. The point is to make reading a deliberate choice in our lives. Let's encourage each other!

The greatest gift is the passion for reading.

It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites,

it gives you knowledge of the world and

experience of a wide kind.

It is a moral illumination.
