29 Books I Read in 2012

One of my goals for last year was to renew my love of reading. I was one of those little girls that would hide under my covers after bedtime and read with a flashlight.

Since becoming a mom I have been reading mostly self-help type parenting and marriage books. I do love those non-fiction, informational books, but it's kind of hard to get wrapped up and lost in them. Actually, a lot of the time, it's hard to even finish them. I still read many of them, but I've also made time to read a little bit of fiction and my absolute favorites, memoirs and biographies.

This year my goal is to read more business and photography books. To read to learn and to read a lot of fiction and classical books with my children. I want them to grow up with a love of reading and learning!
