Things I would like to read...

• Millionaire Teacher by Andrew Hallam  This was an interesting read, and different from other financial books I have read.  It breezes over getting out of debt and buying a car, but is very focused on investing.  We will have to do some more research and some praying before we jump in with both feet.  
• Coraline by Neil Gaiman
• The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks Typical Nicholas Sparks... enjoyable
• The Vow by Kim Carpenter   This is the book the movie The Vow with Rachel McAdams is based on.  I enjoyed the movie, but I loved this book.  In fact, I was a little sad after I read the book, because the movie diverged so much from the original story.  The book focuses on the couples relationship with Christ, and that gets them through.
• Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxas In progress... this might take a while... it is over 500 pages.
• The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
• The Book Theif by Markus Zusak 
• Crazy Love by Francis Chan   Love, Love Love this book. This is a must read.  Warning... take your time with it, pray and read scripture with it, and God will rock your world.
• Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey
• The Christian Atheist by Craig Groeschel   Overall decent book, I honestly did skim some parts.  It goes through he idea that many believe in God, but do not act like they believe in God. 
• The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John Bogle
• Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth

What have you crossed of your list???
