Books, books, books

I made my Reading List for 2009, and just in case you're interested, here it is!
In no particular order:

I have to finish reading The Wounded Heart by Dan Allender, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver, and Reading Lolita in Tehran (author unknown right now).

Spiritual books include Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne, Reimagining Church by Frank Viola, Letters Across the Divide (?), Helper by Design by Elise Fitzpatrick, Shepherding a Child's Heart by Ted Tripp, and Living More with Less (is this spiritual?).

Parenting/child-raising books include Basic Montessori by David Gettman, Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline by Becky Bailey, How to Raise an Amazing Child the Montessori Way by Tim Seldin, and Montessori: A Modern Approach (can you tell I'm gearing up for home-Montessori schooling for Bear?)

And my miscellaneous group of books including nonfiction and fiction: A Natural History of the Senses by Diane Ackerman, Last Child in the Woods, The Unconsoled, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, plus sundry children's literature (I'm determined to read all of the Anne books this year).

Also, some of the highlights of books I read in 2008:
The Lovely Bones-Alice sebold*
The Divide-Nicholas Evans
Unless-Carol Shields (this was a re-read, but so good)
What is the What-Dave Eggers
The Tale of Edgar Sawtelle-David Wroblewski
*I recommend this one cautiously; it is a brilliant book, and very poignant, but deals with a hard topic, definitely not recommended for young readers.
