Oh i am going to add Adopted For Life and Radical Womanhood to my to read list.
Sandra,
I think we might just share a love of the same kinds of books! Thanks for this list. Some I've read, others I have on my own list to read soon.
Counsel from the Cross is fantastic! You've got some great titles here; I also really liked Spectacular Sins and Radical Womanhood. And any list with Jane Austen on it? well done! :-)
Lisa- I was trying to incorporate some classics this year! I have a whole shelf full from my English major/English teaching days and I haven't read all of them. Not sure when I'll attempt Moby Dick though!
WOnderful list, Sandra. I've written down several titles to add to my "To Read" list for 2010!
