I am not totally sure how it happened. I didn’t even set out to do it. Somehow I read 156 books in 2013.

Maybe it was the required reading from graduate and post-graduate studies, maybe it was the increased reading of fiction, or maybe it is simply due to the fact that I should sleep more. Who knows.

As a new year dawns this day, I wonder, “Will I read as many books in 2014? Should I read as many books in 2014?” Who knows.

All I know is that books bless my soul in unusual ways. I can’t wait to see how God uses them to form Christ in me this year.
