Bookish Goals for 2009:

I've been working on a list of books I want to read in 2009. The following is my current list, but in no order of importance.
- Artscroll Siddur
I'm interested in Jewish liturgy, mostly from a Messianic perspective, but since we're still waiting on a Messianic version (although I hear First Fruits of Zion has one in the works), I've turned to this version. I've heard it is the best version out there at the moment.
- Pickwick Papers, by Charles Dickens
A friend recommended it to me, hence its addition to the list. I'm told that bits of take place in Bath, England and since I visited that very same place in November of 2008, it should make it all the more interesting! And it's been a long time since I actually finished a Dickens, so all the more reason to add it to the list.
- Boy Meets Girl, Josh Harris
Curiosity. :-)
- Don't Waste Your Life, by John Piper
This one has been sitting on my shelf and it's about time I read it. If I add it to the list, I figure it will give me a bit more of a reason to start it sooner rather than later.
- Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life, by John Townsend, Henry Cloud
Because I don't know how to say no to anyone.
- Sunshine, by Robin McKinley.
I've gradually been reading most of McKinley's novels throughout the last couple years and this is the next one that I hope to try. I haven't read much as far as vampire fiction goes, so we'll see how I like this one!
- For Women Only: What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men - Shaunti Feldhahn
My mom stole this one off my bookshelf about a year ago and mailed it to a friend of hers. Since then, I've meant to repurchase another copy and read it...now that I've added it to the list, I intend to read it!
Any other suggestions?
