I’ve been reading a lot lately. A combination of Christian fiction and knitting reference books. I’ve been finding new and old Christian authors, which is really great. I was instrumental in getting Christian fiction in the library... back when I was 12, I volunteered at the library for 2 1/2 years. At the time, I was the youngest volunteer that they ever allowed, but I was a home-schooler, and very well read, and they trusted me enough to order all the books I suggested. So a lot of the Gilbert Morris, Janette Oke, and Bodie and Brock Thoene, among others, were series that they started because of me 
Along the way, I’ve found that I really enjoy helping keep book lists up to date, and where better to do that than wikipedia. So I’ve been editing several topics for some of the authors and improving and standardizing a bit on the formatting. It’s really fun.
Here’s some of the authors and series I’ve been reading:

As you can tell, I’m really enjoying being able to read again. And these are just a few of the ones I’ve been reading, too. It’s become quite a joy in my evenings to be able to spend time before bed absorbing myself in a book again. I used to do this all the time when I was a teenager, and now I’m back into it and feeling very proud of myself for not only reading the books, but tracking them as well!
