Books I Have Read

The Books I Have Read

"Reading one book is like eating one potato chip." ~Diane Duane

[This page was last updated on September 14, 2024.]

Once upon a time, I made this blog page...

I love making lists. I make many lists for all kinds of things: native flowers I want to grow in my garden, things I want to borrow from the library, and, of course, too many to-do lists. 😏

So here we are, looking at another one of my famous lists. I figured this would be an interesting one to share. It includes the names (and authors) of most of the books I can remember reading at one point or another. 📚

Also, no, I don't have a photographic memory. My sisters and I still own nearly all of these books, which is how I could "remember" so many to add to this list. My family loves books—we don't have a room in our house without a book! 😄

I have two bookshelves in my room, and while I have read most of the books on them, there's still more to read, such as The Lost Rainforest, Keeper of the Lost Cities (books 3 and 4), and The Menagerie. I sometimes wonder, will I ever manage to read every book on my bookshelves at least once? Well, I'll just have to keep on reading and find out! 😉

What I'm Currently Reading:

The Horse Nutrition Handbook by Melyni Worth

Horse Sense for People by Monty Roberts

[On Pause] The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien (2nd book)

Note: The ones I've read in the past month or two are written in gold.
