I know it's a little late for this kind of post but better late than never right? Usually picking out favourites from a year's worth of reading is a slightly daunting thing & its hard to narrow down the list. But this time, the ten books that did make this list stood out from all the rest and it was easy to pick my very favourites. All of these books are so dear to my heart & I already cannot wait to reread all of them! So without further ado, here are my top ten reads of 2020 in the order in which I read them. Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell // 4 stars "Mary Barton, the heroine of Elizabeth Gaskell's novel, is beautiful but has been born poor. Her father fights for the rights of his fellow workers, but Mary wants to make a better life for them both. She rashly decides to reject her lover Jem, a struggling engineer, in the hope of marrying the rich mill-owner's son Henry Carson and securing a safe future. But when Henry is shot down in the street and Jem b...
Hello darlings! Throughout the Bible, we see true stories of faith, God using people to carry out His plan and many of the human struggles. We can relate to the struggles of many of the famous Biblical characters, but to me the most human and relatable book of the Bible is Psalms. David poured out his heart in the Psalms. His joy, sadness, grief, anger, depression, hope, gladness, the lot! I love going back to the Psalms to read and meditate over them. Over the years a few have stuck out to me and remain some of my favourites and I am going to share them with you now. ~Psalm 139~ If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. (v.9-10) Psalm 139 is so beautiful in my eyes! The language used is quite poetic, as you can see from these two verses. I just love it so much! ~Psalm 119~ Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him...
Lately, I have been trying to clean up the bottomless pit that is my Goodreads TBR and I have succeeded in reducing my TBR to 326 books at the time of writing this. I would like it to only be under 300 but for now, that's where I'm at right now. Anyway, there are a few books on my TBR(physical and Goodreads)that I am very excited to read that I wanted to share with you! ~ Love Defined by Kristen Clark & Bethany Baird I am just finishing their book, Girl Defined and I have LOVED it. Seriously, they have got it. These women have pinpointed how to become a wonderful Godly woman and live as a girl defined by God. This is their second, fairly new, book that they have written. Sice I am loving Girl Defined so much, I'm sure I am going to love this book too! ~ The Beloved Hope Chest by Amy Clipston The last book in its series that has become a very favorite of mine! It will be sad to finish it but when I have the whole series on my shelf I can ...
