Turning the Pages: 2014

This year's list of books I've read seemed long in August, but then I went several months without reading much at all. I love reading on my Kindle since that means I can read at night without bothering Allen with the lamp; lots of the books I read were on Kindle. In spring I read several books with Ben, Maddie, and Jon while we home schooled, and there were many Will asked me to read with him. I still love to read but some seasons I'm more interested than others.
