VT Christian Reading Challenge discussion

I finished six in April. I've read a total of 40. I had originally set my goal at 40, but before reaching it last month, I upped it to 53. I'm not going in the order of the list. I've read books from all of the sections.

I'm on track to surpass my goal of 36 at this point. April seemed slow, but I read a couple long books so that's probably why. I'm still going through the list in order, but I think I'll give myself permission to move around a bit after the next few categories.

I finished seven in April which is a very good month for me. I skip around in all the categories. I plan to read mostly from the first 52 categories but will swap a few out from the last group. So far I have finished 20 for the challenge.

Hi all - great to hear the updates!

I finished four in April, which was actually pretty good for me. I had started two long ones in March that I finished up, and I threw in my "less than 100 pages" book just to give me a bit of a break. I'm at a total of 16 for the year, which means I'm technically a bit behind schedule. However, I'm in the middle of rehearsing for a show that runs next week, so I have a feeling after that - with my evenings more open - my reading totals will go way up.

Favorite book finished in April was All the Light We Cannot See, with The Advocate as a close second.

Least favorite was The Call of the Wild, not because it was that bad - just compared to everything else I read. I did listen to this one on audio book, narrated by Jeff Daniels, and I thought he did a great job!

I have a stack of books I requested from the library sitting on my "book table" and I can't wait to dive into them when I have a little more free time!

Hehe... I'm glad I'm not the only one with a "book table"! The stack just keeps getting higher too...

I read 8 books in April . . . putting me at 32 for the whole year so far.

Good to check in here occasionally .... appreciate the updates... Completions were only three: book club finished Holy Listening: The Art of Spiritual Direction, I finished the first of 3 readings of The Rule of Benedict: Insights for the Ages, also read Peter EnnsThe Bible Tells Me So.
However I have three major reads in process.... Thus I have read 17 for the year ~ per GR am three off pace :-(
(PS I also have a "book table" ~ heavily laden...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one! Yesterday my husband suggested moving my books elsewhere so we could put something else on that table - but as I pointed out, it's a small table perfectly suited for my "to read" pile! :)

I read 11 books

71. A book by or about a pastor’s wife Seasons of Waiting: Walking by Faith When Dreams Are Delayed was a great book!

47. A book by David McCullough The Wright Brothers was my first David McCullough book and I really enjoyed it. (I did this one as an audiobook, so I didn't get bogged down with the details)

The rest of the April list is on my blog https://talkingundertheumbrella.blogs...
