Book List for 2016, Episode One

As promised, I am posting a list of the books which I have determined to finish reading in 2016. Of course, these represent only a minuscule portion of the books on my shelves.  For various reasons, these books have made their way onto my reading book stand.  Some have been there a while.  Others have moved in to the house in the past month.  It's time to read these!

As you can easily see, I have very diverse reading interests.  My plan is to choose one book and just read it through and FINISH it.  Currently I am reading Keep It Simple, Keep It Whole, Alona Pulde & Matthew Lederman and am nearly finished with it.  I think my next book will have to be Mini Farming, Brett L. Markham mainly because it is a LIBRARY BOOK and I have had it checked out over and over and over way too many times.

Gardening books:
5 Acres and a Dream, Leigh Tate
Mini Farming, Brett L. Markham LIBRARY BOOK

Autobiographies
Gifted Hands, Ben Carson
Education of a Wandering Man, Louis L’Amour
Vet in Harness, James Herriot (British edition)   borrowed from neighbor

Christian History and Encouragement
