On My Nightstand for February

I've been plugging right along with my list of books I want to read in 2015, and I'm hoping to cross off at least one more in February, or maybe two.  I'm not setting very high reading goals for February because. . .

insert happy dance here. . .

my hubby and I are going on the Love Like You Mean It cruise!  We will be gone for almost a week, and while I love my kiddos dearly, I am terribly excited to have some special time with my man.  Since he isn't nearly the reader I am, I doubt we will spend much time lounging on the deck of the ship with our noses in books (although that also sounds like a delightful vacation!).  I will probably still read on the plane as he tends to doze while flying, but that will likely be all the reading I will accomplish that week, and that is just fine with me.

So without further ado, here are the books I'm planning to read during the month of February:

• I Am Malala:  The Girl Who Stood up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai

I have had this one on my list for quite some time and am determined to read it this month.  I selected it for my local discussion group to give myself some accountability and I am really looking forward to it.

• Tender Warrior: God's Intention for a Man by Stu Weber

I'm pre-reading this book for my 17-year-old son.  It came highly recommended by someone I trusted (I just can't remember who that was!), and I'm finally getting around to it.

• A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet by Sophie Hudson

This one was free for my Kindle, and I'm thinking it might be a fun, light read for the airplane.  If you have a great recommendation for another vacation book, I would love to pack another one along!




I'm not expecting to have lots of time to finish these, but I hope to start The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer in preparation for Carrie's Bookclub and I will be starting Great Expectations by Charles Dickens with Destry for his literature studies.
