    Some of these titles look like ones I want to read! Are you able to get these from a library, or do you know people to borrow them from, or you just buy them? I couldn’t find them here in our local library network. Thanks for sharing your list.

    by far I loved One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp! i love her blog and the book was just as good and inspiring!!

    That homeschooling veterans book sounds good. I might need to find a copy of that!

    @SallyWe buy a lot of books 🙂 but I also was given as gifts several on this list. Another great way to get books (other than from the library) is through Paperback Swap (sign up here: http://tinyurl.com/7j92gb4). I got several books from there this year… you just pay shipping costs!

    @Kelly BI have one copy of the veteran homeschooling book loaned out to Kelly M, but I have another copy if you’d like to borrow it! I think you’d love it.

    I read Sacred Influence and Sacred Parenting by Gary Thomas. By far the best books I read last year.

    Do you happen to own Loving the Little Years or Parenting in the Pew? I’m very interested in borrowing them and reading them if so…they are on my reading list and I was going to buy the first one so if I could borrow first that would be better!
