October – Stuff Christians Like by Jon Acuff
3 stars out of 5.
This was fun little read. I picked it up because I've read the blog "Stuff Christians Like." This book made me laugh out loud a few times, but it was not Pulitzer prize winner. :)
November – Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall
5 stars out of 5.
I know this book is a fan-favorite of bloggers and it did not disappoint! Beautiful, touching, engaging story. I bawled my eyes out reading the end on the plane ride to Oregon for Thanksgiving.
December – The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian
4 stars out of 5.
I actually spent almost all year reading this and finished it up in December. I really enjoyed reading it a couple times a week as a night time devotional. I definitely know how to better pray for my husband because of it.
Did you read any of these books in 2010? What did you think?
Tomorrow I'll tell you what I'm reading in 2011!

I also read Same Kind of Different As Me and bawled and bawled and bawled...but it was because my husband also has colon issues. It was such a good book, but I almost couldn't get through it! I can't wait to see what else you will be reading this year!
Looks like a great list! I really want to read Same Kind of Different As Me. I have been so bad about finishing books lately and still need to finish I Know This Much is True!
I'm reading Same Kind of Different as Me right now. I've already cried!!
I've read a lot of these and really liked them! Everyone keeps talking about Same Kind of Different as Me, I should give it a try. :)
Thank you so much for sharing your reading list. I am always looking for new books and authors to check out.
I have read a few of these. I loved The Middle Place. What an emotionally raw narration. I am reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo right now and loving it. Excited to see some more of your recommendations!
I've read Baby Proof as wel as Emily Giffin's other books. I love her! I want to read some from your list, especially Same Kind of Different as Me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this!!
I am looking for new books to read since I just got a Nook.
If you're looking for something, I just finished The Art of Dancing In The Rain and it was excellent as well as the Hunger Games :)

Love love lovey lovey love Same Kind of Different As Me. Great job beating your goal!
DANG! That is all I can say about that list! It is so hard to read with a kid-I LOVE to read. And have about 50 books set aside to read. Good ones! I'm reading "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher right now. I started it over Christmas and am only on page like 50 or something!
Hi! I love this list, it gives me ideas! I haven't read The Hour I First Believed but I love Wally Lamb. I read Angie Smith's book and counted my blessings even more so with my own miracle daughter who was never supposed to make it here.
I saw a few posts down that you have had a really rough couple of months and even though we are strangers, I hope that things are looking up for you.
