I am attempting to read at least 104 books this year, covering each of the categories the challenge specifies. I'm almost halfway through the year, but have already read more books than I did last year. In that case, I thought I would give you an update on a few of my favorites so far.
As of today, I have read 62 books in 2016. If you want to see all of them, you can check out my challenge bookshelf on Goodreads here. (Note: Some books were great, and some were bad. Don't think that because they're on that shelf I recommend them. Please.)
I have read some marvelous books this year, and these are 11 of them (including the category they fit in for the challenge).
The Valley of Vision edited by Arthur Bennett - a book published by the Banner of Truth
Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman - a book about language
The Stories We Tell by Mike Cosper (my review here) - a book with a great cover
The Godly Man's Picture by Thomas Watson - a book with an ugly cover
The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges - a book whose title comes from a Bible verse
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand (my review here) - a book about the Second World War
Faerie Gold edited by Kathryn Lindskoog and Renelda Mack Hunsicker - a book for children
The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Tim Keller (my thoughts here) - a book written by a Presbyterian
A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg - a book by a first-time author
Adoption by Russell Moore - a book about adoption
Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon (my review here) - a book about art
What are the best books you've read so far this year?
