One of my goals this year is to read a book a week. The best way for me to keep accountable is to write about them here.
Most of the books should deal with my journey as a ManHusbandDad in some way, though there may be a diversion or two – which also count as part of my journey: All work and no play make ManHusbandDad a dull guy!
My goal, specifically, is to have at least half of the books being oriented toward improving my spiritual life.
I will try to be as thorough as possible about each book, starting with how I came across it and ending with who I think it might be best for.
I’m going to list my books as I read them on the left, with a link to the review of the book. On the right I will list the books I want to read this year.
I am open to suggestions in the comments below!
Some of my books that I will be adding to this year...
If you are looking for books I recommend that I have already read, go to the general recommended books section. That list will grow as I add them...there's just so many, as you can see by the shelves!
