Book challenge (2015)

-
Since I posted this, I have gotten some awesome ideas on what I should read next.  I did a book challenge last year, but ended up adding more books than what were required!  I read The Hunger Games for the first time and that wasn't on my list; Divergent as well I added, and many others.  That says a lot about who I am, I guess. ;)

So, with being inspired to read new and not-so-new books, I wanted your opinion.  What do you think?

Here are some that I hope to tackle this year:
Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
Camille by Alexandre Dumas
The Hunchback of Notra Dame by Victor Hugo
The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien (I started reading this book but never finished)
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Replay by Ken Grimwood
The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan 
Crandford/Cousin Phillis by Elisabeth Gaskell
Wives and Daughters by Elzabeth Gaskell
The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Larkrise to Candleford by Flora Thomson 
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzerald

That's it.  I know I must add more, but that is where I fall short.  Can you help me?  What would you suggest?  What are some must-reads to you that you feel others must read?

I look forward to hearing your answers!

Blessings,
Sarah

    I'm sending you a Huge List as soon as I can.... ;D But no, don't worry. I'll try to keep it at 5-10 imperative ones. ;)

    (And P.S: You can remove my previous comment. It had a typo.... :p)

Good morning, blog family!  I am SO happy to share the questions to Kellie's  fun, and creative blog party!   I did this last year, and if you would like to read my answers, please  click here . <<<---Don't you just love this part in the movie?  I cry every time! :p I am composing/answering these questions with what read in 2014.  Next year it'll be with what I've read this year.  :)  Here are the questions and my answers. :)  Enjoy!   1. Introduce yourself! Divulge your life's vision, likes dislikes, aspirations, or something completely random! Well hello!  My name is Sarah and this is my second year attending Kellie's online party.  The first year  was SO much fun I just had to come back for more!  My life's vision is to honor and glorify my Savoir and King with everything that I say, think and do.  As I pray that part of God's will for me will include marriage and children, I am finding the grace and glory t

New moth, new verse

It is April (if you already haven't had a chance to take a glance at your calendar)!  This is random, but for some reason when each new moth rolls around I associate it with a color - weird, I know - and this is the list of months typed in the colors that I associate them with: January  February   March  April  May  June  July  August  September  October  November  December I know, it's really weird!  :p Back the post. :-) Part of my new year's resolution was to memorize a verse each month and reflect on it throughout the month. I am on my 4th memory verse of 2014!  :-) How did I decide which verses to memorize?  Well, my parents got my sisters and I a new, beautiful calender at the end of 2013 that was full of Psalm of praise. Each month has a verse, so I thought, "why not just memorize the verse that comes with each month?" That is what I am doing and it proves to be a pretty nice plan. :-) I share the KJV and YLT versions. Janua

"What God hath joined..." Part 1

So this post has been a long time coming - my brother and his new bride's wedding pictures!! The wedding took place in the beautiful sate of Kentucky (to which I had never visited until September of last year) the first weekend in May. Here are some pictures of the day before the Big Day. My sisters and their new friend enjoying lunch outside  while making silly faces. :) This was walking into the room in which they were to cut the cake - beautiful, isn't it?  The floors creaked when walked upon. Isn't this just lovely? My new sister in-law painted them herself - and did a fantastic job. Looking from the stone fireplace.  This is the back of the building.  It was actually an old house that it now used for a woman's club. The alter where Joseph and Emily will say "I do." A different angle. The lovely flowers.. All the groomsmen playing some  football before the rehearsal started. I love that this was the bachelo
