What I'm Reading Link-Up: February 2014
Welcome to the What I'm Reading Link-up! Here's how it works:
- I post my monthly reading list on the first Tuesday of the month.
- I also let you know what books I loved from the previous month.
- You can link a blog post of your reading list using the link-up feature, or you can just leave a comment with the books you're reading if you don't have a blog.
- If you link-up your blog post, please acknowledge this link-up within your post. :) You can use the image included in this post.
- I will leave the link-up/giveaway open for the rest of the month.
- In the following month's link-up, I'll announce the WINNER of the book giveaway. The winner will get to pick a book from ANY of my reading lists - including Books I Loved in 2013.
Thank you to those who linked up or commented on the last What I'm Reading Link-Up! The winner of the giveaway according to the random number generator is.... #1! Renee Green! YAAYYY! I will send Renee a book of her choice to add to her reading list. :)
Okay, so this month my list will be pretty short, because hey. It's February. And I'm not done with The Help yet so I still need to finish that. It's great so far! Again, I wish I had read it before the movie. But oh well. The other books from my previous list are wonderful, but I already talked about them because I had already been reading them for a while when I posted last time.
My February 2014 Reading List:
1. 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker
This is a book I bought months ago but couldn't start until I finished a couple other studies. I asked my mom if she wanted to do it with me and she said yes, so we are about to start it! I'm excited! (I got the second one listed here, the member book.) Has anyone done this already? I'm kinda scared, but I know that I NEED to focus on this.
7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess
By Jen Hatmaker
Disturbed by her family's comfortableness with American excess, Jen Hatmaker writes in 7 about their unique social and spiritual decision to live by a rule of seven - reducing material possessions and distractions in seven areas (food, clothes, spending, media, possessions, waste, and stress) in order to connect with a greatly increased God.

7 Experiment: Staging Your Own Mutiny Against Excess, Member Book

2. A Love That Multiplies by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar
Because their first book fascinated me, and because this one was approximately $2.97 at the time, my mom got me this book for Christmas. I enjoy reading about their habits and disciplines, even though our family has not multiplied yet. Haha. :)

A Love That Multiplies: An Up-Close View of How They Make It Work
By Michelle & Jim Bob Duggar
America's popular "mega-household" shares the fundamentals that keep them focused on family, financial repsonsibility, fun---and faith. As you discover the parenting challenges the Duggars face and the simple life principles they teach their children, you'll realize that what works for them can work for you, too! Includes a special chapter on homeschooling.
3. A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George
This book was highly recommended by a woman at our church whom I greatly admire (and her sweet daughter Paris who's in our youth group!) so I knew I must read it. My mother-in-law gave it to me for Christmas so I'm pumped to dive in!
