I didn't get through as many book as I had planned this month, but I did start a study on the book of Esther so I should include that. Here is a recap of my June reading:
The Wedding ~ We never got to the pool much between the weather and our family getting sick, I am crossing my fingers for continued good with weather so I can enjoy this by the pool in July.
The Original Homeschooling Series ~Ugh, I do not really want to think about home schooling right now, this is getting pushed until August.
The Christian Mother ~ A very interesting read, many would find it old fashioned. I really enjoyed it though.
The Excellent Wife (chapters 5-7) ~ Wow! I have been typing my reflections on the computer to post in the group on THL; it has not had much activity lately so I am not sure what I will do with my notes...maybe share on my blog...
Emilie's Creative Home Organizer & More Hours In My Day ~ Hmmm, I didn't learn much from these books. I am not the most organized person but I found many of the tips to be so pointless, I did a lot of skimming! One of my favorites: take a shallow bath, no more than three inches of water...um, no thanks! I am a shower gal, but if I were to take a bath, I would like to soak thank you, not just get my butt wet!
Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day ~ I barely skimmed this one, they continuously made mention of the fact that I could bake bread in five minutes a day, that is why I picked up the book in the first place, I felt like the author was trying to convince me a little to much...continuously, I am not kidding!
All The Way Home : Power For Your Family To Be Its Best ~ A good book, I was already familiar with many things she mentioned so it was more of a 'refresher book' rather than a 'learn something new book' which I was hoping for.
The Daily Bean : 175 Easy and Creative Bean Recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and...Yes, Dessert! ~ Some interesting recipes that I am going to scan and give a try. Angel detests beans, they make her gag, so I hope I may be able to sneak a few into her. I will share any recipes my family enjoys, maybe even a desert!
A Thomas Jefferson Education ~ I have already posted on this one; I have one more book list to share this weekend. :)

Just curious, is the Esther study you started the one by Beth Moore? I just started that one a couple of weeks ago.
You've got quite a list of books. I seem to always have several books going at one time! I have to grab little snippets of time here and there for reading. It then seems to take the longest for me to get them read.
Right now I am currently reading...let's see...if you include little devotional books...6 books not including the Esther Bible study and the Bible.
Happy reading and hope you have a great week!

I'm doing Esther in the fall with my Bible study group and now I can't wait! I love reading about women who also learn much from Beth Moore!
Is The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks? If so, I read that last week. Very good!
Reading for me is my little bit of "me time" in the day. Hope you enjoy yours!
