Top Ten Tuesday ~ Debut Authors

This was a really hard one. I decided to combine debut authors that I read last year with ones I want to read this year. And I still don't think it's going to come out to ten. Here we go.

Top Ten Tuesday ~ 2015 Reading Goals

About this time every year, I start to think about what I'm going to read next year. Weird, I know. Here are a few goals I have set for myself for 2015.

Read equal amounts of Christian and secular fiction ~ I love ChrisFic, but I next year I would like to make more of an effort to read a little more diversely.

Read 12 books by Angela Hunt ~ I read one book a month by Lynn Austin this year. It was so much fun I decided to focus on another author I love in 2015. Most of the Lynn Austin books I read in 2014 were rereads for me, but there are a lot of books by Mrs. Hunt that I haven't read yet.

Read several complete series ~ I have collected several complete series on my Kindle. I want to marathon at least a few of them.

Four classics ~ I try to do this every year. 

Two nonfiction books a month ~ I usually try to read one nonfiction a month, but I have easily surpassed that the last couple of years.

Top Ten Tuesday ~ Favorite Books of 2014

This list was harder than I thought it would be. I read a lot of good books this year, but not a lot of books that really stuck with me. Still, there were a few that stood out, and I'm not done yet. I've still got a couple of weeks til the end of the year. I'm hoping to get a couple more in before January 1st. Here are my faves, so far, for 2014.

Waiting on Wednesday ~ Still Life by Christa Parrish

What I am waiting on:

When does it come out? January 27, 2015

Why am  I waiting? I have only read one other book by Christa Parrish, but I loved it. I do own all of her other books, and I plan on reading them all next year.
