Books a Million

Pin It My hubby and I had a bookstore date for Valentine's Day. I forgot how fun that was (highly recommend for your next date). We meant to spend about an hour there, but as two hours neared we were ticked that we had to get going. I think we could have stayed all day, drank 6 coffees, and who knows how many books we could have powered through. The bookstores name got changed to BAM!, Books a Million. Justin thought that was quite funny, maybe a little too funny, and added a BAM! to the end of most of his statements while we were there (that might have been the only con of the date.) Anyway, I got some amazing reads there and it got me thinking how there IS a million books out there. How do we choose what to read? What is going to give us the most bang (or BAM...for you babe) for our time invested? As a busy mom, my reading time is limited and I want to make every book count.
Starting in March, I am going to offer a book club/book study at my house on Tuesday nights. I have a great list of few favorites that have been life changing I want to get through them again... ASAP. It will be a six week class that powers through four good books. My definition of a "good" book is one the pushes me deeper into the word of God after I finish reading it. Here is my thoughts on the schedule:
Week 1: Pre-read and discuss Godliness Through Discipline Jay Adams
Week 2: Discuss First We Have Coffee -  Margret Jenson
Week 3: Discuss Satan, You Can't Have My Children - Iris Delgado
Week 4: Discuss the first 70 pages Teach Them Diligently - Lou Priolo
Week 5: Discuss 70 - end of Teach Them Diligetnly
Week 6: To be determined. I have a few to many good ones contending for this spot.
The schedule will be quite rigorous, but I want to get through a lot of material and use the meeting time to discuss and brainstorm as wives and mothers.
Let me know if this is something that interests you.
