June 2024 Reading Wrap Up

June was a crazy, busy month that felt like about 600 years. I feel like I did a fair amount of reading, but I also felt like it was taking me forever to finish each book. So let's see what it actually looks like 😂. I read 15 books and DNF'd one. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Title: What If Jesus Was Serious About Heaven?

Series: What if Jesus Was Serious

Author: Skye Jethani

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Theology, Devotional, Christian Living

Publisher: Brazos Pres

My Review:

Skye Jethani has become an "auto" read author. I have read all his books in the What If Jesus Was Serious series. What If Jesus Was Serious About Heaven? is best read slowly, allowing time to ponder each section. 

October Reading wrap-up

I can't even believe we are at the end of October (well, beginning of November, LOL!! This month has been insanely busy. We are packed up, our house closed on Tuesday, and we close on our new house next Friday! We are staying at my in-laws during this transition period.

I ended up reading 15 books in October and DNF 2. Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review.

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? I am cleaning this morning because we have an open house today. Other than that I am not sure how the weekend will go (it's hard to plan when your house is on the market!). I hope to get some reading in this weekend though.

May Reading Wrap-Up

Happy June, my bookish friends!!! I can't believe the year is half over! How was your reading this month? I had a lower reading month than usual, but most of what I read was good.

I read 14 books this month and will dnf 1. Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review of the book. The review for The Songs That Could Have Been is for a blog tour and will be posted mid-June.

What If Jesus Was Serious?

Title: What if Jesus Was Serious? A Visual Guide to the Teachings of Jesus We Love to Ignore

Author: Skye Jethani

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Christian Living, Bible Study

Publisher: Moody Publishers

My Review:

I thought with the size of this book, it would be a quick and easy book to read. I was wrong. While it can be read quickly , because it does not have a lot of pages, you would miss so much. What If Jesus Was Serious? A Visual Guide to the Teachings of Jesus We Love to Ignore is best to be read slowly, thinking over each section.

My Review:

Skye Jethani is an author I discovered a few months ago. I read his book What if Jesus was Serious About Prayer and knew I wanted to read more of his works.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are planning to read over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and add to your TBR pile! This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at The Book Date.
