Bookishness Vol. 3
Welcome to my third bookishness post! This is a little late (sorry) but at least you're getting it! I'm thinking about my different blogs and some things I might change about how I operate them so that posts are more consistent and all that. I'll let you know what I figure out. :)
This month has been crazy busy (again...) so I didn't read that much. Most of my books are actually school books, but whatever. I'm still counting them. And one of the below books I haven't actually finished yet (Don't Waste Your Life), but I'm really close so I'm going to include it as well.
Probably my favorite book this month is the one I haven't quite finished yet - Don't Waste Your Life. It is a really interesting, convicting book about living your life for Jesus and not wasting it. (Haha, who would've guessed?!)
It reminds me a lot of Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris (another book I 100% recommend) but it explains the concept in different ways. It's honestly really convicting. What am I doing to glorify God? What can I do so I'm not wasting my life?
Anyway... Back from all those deep thoughts. On to the list and ratings of the books I've read this month!
Medea - Euripides
Eumenides - Aeschylus
