I read some of the books on my original list. But I didn't read everything on my list. I added things to it as well. One thing that surprised me--in a good way--was how much nonfiction I read. For some reason, I found it easier to read nonfiction than fiction! The Christian fiction I did read didn't really work for me the way I wanted it too. The exception to that rule being the two Grandma Attic books which I've loved and adored from childhood.
My favorite books were Note to Self: The Discipline of Preaching to Yourself by Joe Thorn and Why One Way?: Defending an Exclusive Claim in an Inclusive World by John MacArthur. And I just LOVED The Big Picture Story Bible by David R. Helm. If you've got kids, this is a great bible story book!

Congrats on getting so much read! I loved Through Gates of Splendor -- have read it many times. I think my son just received Note to Self -- will have to take a look.
Way to go on getting so much read! I read way more non-fiction than I usually do this time around too.
Nice job! And I'm so glad to hear you liked Note to Self. That one's on my Kindle and it looks good -- I'm really looking forward to reading it. Thanks for being part of SRT '11!
Oh my goodness, I remember the Grandma's Attic books - I loved those!
