Top Ten Books I Can't Believe I Read

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Books I Can’t Believe I Read

1. 11/22/63 by Stephen King. I hate politics! I don't care about the president of the United States but I was determined to read a Stephen King Novel and I saw this book in the second-hand store for cheap so I thought why not.
2. Opus Dei. An Investigation into the Powerful, Secretive Society within the Catholic Church by Michael Walsh
3. A Course In Miracles Combined Volume: Text, Workbook for Students, Manual for Teachers, 2nd Edition. I feel this book really helped me with an emotional problem and I'm thankful for it.
4. The Giver. I used to clean classrooms and one class was reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. I was curious to see what it was about so I read it.

5. Blessed Sister M. Faustina Kowalska Diary Divine Mercy In My Soul. This is a very heavy spiritual book.
6. The Lamb's Supper The Mass As Heaven On Earth by Scott Hahn. This book helped me to understand what happens during Mass. It is something extraordinary.
7. The Gargoyle Code by Dwight Longenecker is like The Screwtape Letters
8. Fat Dad, Fat Kid One Father and Son's Journey to take power away from the "F-word" Shay Butler Gavin Butler.
9. The Synagogue of Satan by Andrew Carrington Hitchcock. The secret history of Jewish World Domination
10. The Visions of The Children by Janice T. Connell

Books I Really Liked but Can’t Remember Anything/Much About

I really liked The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne and it hasn't been that long since I binge-read the series. 2013? For those who aren't aware, you can find out more about them on his website.  Atticus and his talking dog Oberon are a cute pair. There are at least 9 novels written so far and I can't remember much about each of 'em by just looking at the title
😭😿👅
I need to re-read them maybe? What I know is
⇢there was a coven of witches in Hexed,
⇢a vampire in Hounded,

⇢what comes next is Hammered ⇤(I think Atticus was in another universe or in hell? I can't remember)

⇢Hunted was about Atticus being chased by the goddess of the hunt Diana and Artemis I think.

⇢I DNF'd Staked  I lost interest.

Hunted by Karen Robards. I can't tell you what this is about. I have no idea but it was good apparently

Born Blue by Han Nolan. I vaguely remember this one but liked it.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I started reading this book a long time ago and never finished but I don't remember much of anything. I still plan on reading it someday, just not yet :)

The Morganville Vampires, Volume 2 by Rachel Caine

Hot Mama (Bigtime #2) by Jennifer Estep

Top 10 Tuesday Bookish Resolutions & Goals

This post contains affiliate links

This week on Top 10 we are discussing Bookish Resolutions/Goals and linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl

I am not comfortable with making resolutions in general, and the reason is it can set you up for failure but if it makes you happy then whatever. I would be happy just to complete ten books I want to read in 2018. I realize how my feelings affect my reading. For the life of me, I can't seem to concentrate on getting through the pages of a book faster than a turtle. Really? I think it has to do with my emotions. I don't know why it has been a struggle lately. It feels like when I was little. When I could read well, but lack comprehension. That is the main reason I had an aversion to books. I couldn't understand what I read! I mean I LOVED TO READ, and I still do, but it's just that I find it hard to concentrate.

Like I'm staring at a word, but my brain doesn't register. I'm numb. Thank God for audiobooks though! It's infuriating and debilitating as well. Oh well, so that is it. I've also run into some MORE OBSTACLES! Over the course of Christmas and New Years, Oh what Joy! 1. my kindle is not connecting to wi-fi, 2. my TV is not changing channels, 3. and NOW my iPod is cutting out in the middle of an audiobook! It's been one BIG FRUSTRATING BOOKISH CLUSTER@#CK! Why Oh Why??!! I CAN'T BLOODY READ!! My goals look and feel like somebody pressed the reset, again and again. And why does Goodreads count a book and audiobook as being read twice and therefore I read four books when I've only read 3?

My Ten Bookish Goals & Resolutions

• I don't plan on reading more than sixty books in the Goodreads Challenge this year, so hopefully, I will be able to find some books that I like
• I added six new books to my shelf in the first week of January alone! So for me, a no-book-buying pledge is in order, since buying books is expensive!
• I will be making use of my library more often this year. I live near one so why not. 
• Organize my bookshelves and clear out old books and make room for new ones
• I need to see what I can do about getting an Ipad though, so I can read ebooks and listen to audiobooks on one device. Would that be an Ipad? lol
• I have a lot of ebooks on my Kindle that I need to tackle. A lot of them have been free over the years so I might be able to delete some after I finish reading them maybe? You think?

• I'd love to partake in a read-a-long
• I want to read a bunch of Novellas in November.
• Join a new reading challenge: The Moody Reader Challenge
• I also love the idea of reading a book from AtoZ

I look forward to seeing what everyone else's goals are.
