2013 in Books

Looking back on the post that I wrote last year (Looking Ahead to 2013), I have only read two of the books that I said that I would liked to have read this year. I read The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson, and Surprised by Joy by C. S. Lewis. I have spent a lot of time reading, though. I recently discovered the gem that is George MacDonald; I love his writings. I am reading a collection of his short stories, and have read The Princess and the Goblin, and The Princess and Curdie. 

While I did not read the Chesterton books that I listed last year, I did read The Colored Lands, The Club of Queer Trades, and The Napoleon of Notting Hill by him, and Common Sense 101: Lessons from Chesterton by Ahlquist. I've read several books by Lewis this year, including rereading The Chronicles of Narnia (this time in the order in which they were published, which I quite enjoyed), Surprised by Joy, Reflections on the Psalms, and Letters to Malcolm. I also enjoyed reading my first books by E. Nesbit and Charles Williams, and am looking forward to reading more by them in the near future. 

These are just a few of the myriad of books that I've read in the last few months. Perhaps I'll post again with what I've been discovering amongst the pages I read (though I know now that I shouldn't say for certain if I'll post again soon, as the last time I wrote here was in January). 

If you've read these books or authors, or have recommendations for me, I'd love to hear from you! 

Meanwhile, I hope that you have a blessed Christmas season.
