On my Bookshelf – Blogtember #12
The Blogtember challenge for day #12 is to share a book I’ve read, one I’m reading and one I would like to read. The past two years I have really tried to make time to read again. I enjoy a good book but often put this on the back burner but have actually logged 10 books this year. For some of you who read this in a month I’m sure you are laughing but for me, there have been years I have read zero so I’m super proud. Here is what I’ve been reading and what I’m looking forward to starting.
In Uninvited, Lysa shares her own deeply personal experiences of rejection–from the perceived judgment of the perfectly toned woman one elliptical over to the incredibly painful childhood abandonment by her father. She leans in to honestly examine the roots of rejection, as well as rejection’s ability to poison relationships from the inside out, including our relationship with God.
I’m super excited to read all the books to be shared to day!

I am the same way, there were zero read book years in there for me too, so super proud of any I read now. I now find myself reading more since the tow are in college and I am enjoying it. Pretty Girls is on my list!! Happy Monday!
I used to read 3-4 books a month now I'm lucky to read 3 a year!!

I read Pretty Girls and loved it. Just finished the Last Anniversary by Liane Moriarty last night but I didn't love it so now I'm on the hunt for another great read!
Adding Pretty Girls to my GoodReads right now! Thanks for the recommend.
The Uninvited seems to be on everyone's to-read list right now!! 🙂
I just bought Uninvited last week. It's really good so far, but I haven't had much time to dive into it. I'm looking forward to it, though! I'm on page 4 & have already marked four places to share with Kendall!
I really want to read The Royal We, but for some reason I haven't been able to find it anywhere 🙁
I loved the Royal We!! I've been wanting to read Uninvited so I'm happy to hear you liked it!

I have heard a lot of great things about Uninvited and i think you are the 3rd or 4th person on blogtember today who either wants to read it or is currently reading it so I need to check this book out soon!
I ordered Uninvited last night. I'm really looking forward to reading it. I've heard nothing but good stuff!
I'm happy to report I've actually READ 2.5 books from your picture!!! Yay me! You know how big of an accomplishment this is for me!
Guess who lives about an hour from me? Lysa T. Yep. Her husband owns one of the Chickfilas in Charlotte. Crazy right? I haven't read that book yet but plan to pick it up BEFORE October starts. I enjoy all her books since they hit home. I read Gone Girl and I was pissed. Now you have my interest peaked on your royal book…hmmm?!?! xoxoxo
I have heard so many good things about Uninvited – just added it to my reading list.
I've been wanting to read The Royal We 🙂
And now I'm adding even more books to my read list… which never stops growing.
Reading Uninvited now. So much goodness in this book!
I know Stephanie….mine just keeps piling up! The Royal We has taken me way longer than it should have. Totally hoping to finish today. Have a super weekend!
It is really good…but seems really long!
I can't wait to start Emily! Hoping to finish the Royal We today. Have a super weekend!
First Daughtry and now Lysa?? You are killing me! Her books definitely hit home for me. Have a great weekend!
I definitely get it! I've read more books in the past 2 years than I did in the last 20 I'm pretty sure.
Lysa never disappoints Nicole! I hope to finish off the Royal We today so I can begin Uninvited. I go back and forth between "real" books and reading on my ipad….I always get hers on my ipad so I can highlight easily.
You definitely need to add this book to your list Elle!
I am so ready to finish reading the Royal We! Hoping today I can mark that off my list.
Jenn….message me your address and as soon as I'm done I will mail it to you. 🙂 As long as you don't mind a few coffee stains. Haha
Isn't it fun to share with your girl?!! Carly and I went to Secret Keeper Girls last night and I was just so emotional. I just know so much more now and have my head on so much straighter than I did when I was trying to lead Jordan through the teen years. I feel into so many dumb traps as a teen and just couldn't dig myself out…so want more for my girls!
I can't wait to start reading Ashley! Lysa's books always teach me something…sometimes lessons I didn't even know I needed to learn.
Hope you like it Deena! I really couldn't put it down even though it is not my favorite kind of book. Hope you have a super weekend!
Funny story…..I read Liane Moriarty Big Little Lies last month…except until I was almost done I didn't realize I was reading like the cliff note version. LOL…I felt like such an idiot. I read almost the entire thing thinking it was a bunch of little chapters giving me like some sort of preface or something. haha
Jaymie I have read more books the past 2 years than the last 20!! Momlife…definitely changed my priorities.
Keith goes to bed so early so unless I can read on my ipad I can't read in bed. Some books I don't mind but others I really still like having a "real" book to read.
Some perks to NC lol!
