Do you have a shelf full of books you've never read? I sure do.
This year I'm going to do something about it.
Each month, I'm committed to reading 2 books. Some have been sitting on my shelf for years. Some I bought for my Kindle when they were $1.99 and have never been read. Some are old favorites that I don't own but will gladly check out of the public library. The idea is to not spend money buying new books.
Here's my list so far:
January: Of Mess and Moxie and Faithful Families
February: The Gifts of Imperfection and The Sacred Enneagram
March: Bird by Bird and Present Over Perfect
April: Mystics and Misfits and The New Jim Crow
May: Assimilate or Go Home and Asylum Denied
June: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and I Am Malala
July: The Grid and Moral Ground
August: The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind and God and the Green Divide
September: Radical and The Screwtape Letters
October: Hands Free Mama and One Thousand Gifts
November: Pastor's Kid and The Pastor's Family
December: ? and ?
As you can see, it's all just a bit of light reading (sarcasm font). Some of it is topical and thematic, some not.
But I need your help--I ran out of ideas for December. What should I add to this list? What are your favorite reads? Comment with your picks below!

Here are a few: Exit West (fiction, refugees). Everybody Lies (nonfiction - big data, new data, & what we can learn from it). The Underground Railroad (historical fiction with some magical thinking).
