Winter Reading List ~ 2025

Winter Reading List 2025

 It's busy busy around here. I'm not putting up photos or links this time. I thought you might still like to see what I'm reading and/or planning to read in the next couple of months. 

Currently Reading:

  • The Old Testament as far as I can get
  • Trim Healthy Mama Plan
  • Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
  • Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder
  • Western Heritage: A Reader by Hillsdale College  
  • Second Time Around by Melody Carlson
  • The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain

Planning to Read:
  • The Sleuth of Blackfriars Lane by Michelle Griep
  • Waverly by Sir Walter Scott

Finished:

January 
  • Paradise Lost by Jon Milton ~ See my review.
  • The Christmas Tree Farm by Melody Carlson
  • The Truth in Tiramisu by Rachel Bloome 
  • A Guilded Age Getaway by Stephenia McGee  
  • The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge 
  • From Heaven by A.W. Tozer 
  • The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
February
  • The Conundrum of Coach 13 by John Taylor
  • The Winter Ghosts by Kate Moss
  • The 10:59 Assassin by Jon Milton

This is a very ambitious list. I know that I won't finish it all. I don't have massive time for reading; so, I like to listen to audiobooks while I do other things... like knitting!

So, I encourage you, make a list and check it twice. Then, snatch read if you must, but do read or listen to some good books this winter. Use your minutes!

Count your blessings!
Laura

    1. That's why I love finding audiobooks on Everand. I listen to several each month for one fee.

  2. I listen to audio books quite often while I'm knitting/crocheting, cleaning or driving. It's amazig how many you can read that way.

    1. Audiobooks definitely make some of the mundane things much easier to get done.
      Knitting and sewing are just more fun when I can go into a make believe world or learn something new while I stitch.

  3. I love to read and I enjoy the time I find to do it. I am looking into audible books that I can use in the car.

    1. I use the app Everand (used to be Spotify). I can listen to multiple books in a month for one fee.

  4. That is an ambitious list for sure. I wish I had more time for reading. I joined our condo book club and have read books I would have never selected on my own. They have all been outstanding books.
    I hope you have a wonderful February! xo Diana

    1. ​Hi Diana,
      I would never try a list like this if I didn't listen to a lot of audio books on Everand while doing other things. ~smile~
      Wouldn't it be lovely to have a couple of hours to read every day!
      Be blessed,
      Laura

  5. What a strong start with January! I love your concept of "snatch" reading, I am homeschooling a Kindergartener and they say their attention span in minutes is equivalent to their age in years, so I will be snatching for a while! I found you through MaryJanesFarm blog log and when I'm not working on titles required for badges, I am lost in Patrick Rothfuss's trilogy.

    1. ​Wow! Bellepic! I've not even been over to MaryJane's Farm for awhile. I'm so glad you found me. I hope you'll visit again soon.

    1. I understand. I never finish; and, I always seem to add something new I've found to the list! The list motivates me, though.
      Happy crocheting!

  7. I love to read, but it seems like I always run out of time in my days! I listen to audio books on my Library app. I also joined a Book Club a few years back. Love the discussions! Hugs, Roxy

    1. Audiobooks are my friends! I was part of a book club for awhile, but the books they chose tended away from subjects I was comfortable with, so I quit. Maybe I'll find another one someday.
      Be blessed!

  8. I've never listened to an audiobook. I have a feeling I would zone out. As it is, I sometimes have to reread paragraphs of books because my mind tends to wander at random moments. Mostly I read non-fiction; there's so much to understand and learn from history. Thanks for stopping by my corner of the world. Take care.

  9. That's a great book list you have made. I've always been a reader but now I read much more slowly than I used to. Nevertheless I make time to sit and read every day. Re your last post ( Paradise Lost) I knew very little about it until last year when my granddaughter studied it in Uni. Now I know a tiny bit more than I used to :)

Thanks for writing me back!

This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!
