I am an almost pushing fifty-something, audaciously authentic, Jesus loving, modestly pierced, heavily tattooed, daughter of Christ who carries a colorful past full of mistakes and second chances. I’m a part-time cupcake making powerhouse, full-time art administrator, adoption advocate, control freak, perfectionist, emoji lover, hashtag abuser, camping obsessed, sunset chasing, avid photographer, who’s completely addicted to scrapbooking. Standing beside me is my main man, my forty-something husband of over eighteen years (who’s also moderately tattooed with a colorful past), my three children ages twenty-four, thirteen, and stillborn seven years ago… and of course our adorable little poochie-poo.

Whatcha Reading 2018

I set a goal a year ago to intentionally log 2018 exercise miles and read 2018 pages during the year of 2018. 

In November I reached my exercise goal and ended the year at 2, 228.1 miles for the year.

I also logged all the books I read, and that number came in at 6,477 pages.  I also read every day with my ten-yea- old and I remembered to log a few of the books we read together, but most I did not. I also didn't record any of the pages read in the Bible and daily devotionals.

As I was closing up my document and adding up my pages from the year, I thought I would share my list here with you in case you happen to be looking for a few new titles to check out.  I often will post on Instagram under the hashtag #whatchareading as well throughout the year if you want to follow me @saracrane13.
