I started off this year doing Booking It with Life as Mom and had selected a book for each month. I loved this goal but only stuck with it through July (I think) and made a few changes along the way. I also started listening to audiobooks on my work commute and loved it! It’s a great way for me to get more “reading” in since I don’t always get a chance to sit down and read when I’m at home.
Here’s what I read this year (or what I remember of what I read!):
Boundaries with Kids by Cloud and Townsend
Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives by Wayne Muller
Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist
One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp (a favorite!)
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller (another favorite!)
Finding Your Purpose As a Mom by Donna Otto
Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge
Ministry of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson
All Is Grace: A Ragamuffin Memoir
Thirty-One Days of Praise: Enjoying God Anew
Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel
How to Be an American Housewife
Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back
Listened to:
The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun
The Hunger Games Trilogy
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Her Daughter’s Dream
And some books I’ve been referencing this year but haven’t read cover to cover:
Naturally Healthy Babies and Children: A Commonsense Guide to Herbal Remedies, Nutrition, and Health
Super Natural Home: Improve Your Health, Home, and Planet–One Room at a Time
Rosemary Gladstar’s Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health: 175 Teas, Tonics, Oils, Salves, Tinctures, and Other Natural Remedies for the Entire Family

I used affiliate links in this post.Did you read any great books this year? What should I add to my list for 2012?
You and I have some of the same books on our list, several of them ones I found to be life-changing. Would love to know what you think of Heaven is for Real. I was absolutely amazed. Love your list. Love the way we can catch a glimpse of someone's personality by seeing what they read.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and checking out my list!
Some great books on your list – I'll be adding some of them to mine! I really want to read A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. It's been on my list for a while!
Christi-I loved A Million Miles in a Thousand Years…one of my favorites this year!
I love your list. I have Boundaries for Kids and started but somehow got sidetracked. I need to pull it out again and get to reading. It's been a bit crazy here with 3 boys and I think this book will help. I've read Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller but need to check out A Million Miles. Thanks for the ideas and thanks for stopping by to see my list.
Your blog looks very interesting I plan to poke around.
