I again kept a list in February of the books I read. I didn't read as many, but that's okay!
1. Take One (Karen Kingsbury) - 323 p.
2. Take Two (Karen Kingsbury) - 298 p.
3. Take Three (Karen Kingsbury) - 311 p.
4. Take Four (Karen Kingsbury) - 352 p.
5. Leaving (Karen Kingsbury) - 509 p. (this was a Large Print book, thus the high number of pages!)
6. Through My Eyes (Tim Tebow) - 257 p.
That's a whopping 2,050 pages in February....and 4,628 pages in 2012. Not bad for two months into the year. :)
I do want to comment on one of the books I read in February: Through My Eyes by Tim Tebow. I chose to read this book for a couple of reasons, one being that Tebow-mania has swept the nation and I wanted to find out what the excitement was all about (without having to watch a football game), and partly because I heard through the grapevine that his book was a really good read. After reading it, I would have to agree. I now have a deeper respect and appreciation for the person that is Tim Tebow (and I may or may not start watching Broncos games when they are on TV next fall....haha!). The guy is genuine. The guy is real. And the guy likes country music and his dog. I was very impressed with his faith and his humility. His parents promised God that if He gave them another child they would raise him to be a preacher, and they have fulfilled that promise. Tim is a great witness and I'm sure as he continues to become more popular he will have more and more opportunities to be a preacher and a witness both on and off the field. Plus his book was very well written, engaging and personal. If you get a chance, read it.

Books Read in January 2012
I decided to keep track of the books I read during the month of January. I started out the month by reading the day away, so got to thinking it might be interesting to see how many books I would end up reading, as well as how many pages. I think you'll see a common trend in the books I read during the month of January:
1. Sunrise (Karen Kingsbury) - 301p.
2. No Distance Too Far (Lauraine Snelling) - 351p.
3. A Heart For Home (Lauraine Snelling) - 356p.
4. Love Finds You in Valentine, Nebraska (Irene Brand) - 303p.
5. Summer (Karen Kingsbury) - 338p.
6. Someday (Karen Kingsbury) - 309p.
7. Sunset (Karen Kingsbury) - 307p.
8. Leaving (Karen Kingsbury) - 316p.
That is a total of 2,578 pages this month! And as you can tell, I enjoy the Christian Fiction genre and the Historical Fiction genre. I enjoy those types of books because when I read them it is a chance to escape into another world for awhile without having to use too many brain cells....a good chance to relax. :)
