Since I hear from a lot of people and baby blogs that once your little blessing is born there is very seldom time for yourself I thought what is the one thing I want to enjoy and savor and that's peace and quiet while reading a book. So I decided to come up with a book reading bucket list leading up to the baby so I can go on many adventures while not having to leave my home! I figured out I have about enough time for 20 books give or take a book a week or a book every two weeks.

While most of these are ministry books that cover a vast amount of different topics, some of these are reads that I just simply enjoy, some of them I have read already a couple times and some I have had for a while but never started to read. Something my aunt and uncle who have straight A students has done since they found out they were pregnant with each of their children is they would have my Uncle read to the child in the womb allowing the child to hear dad's voice but also building it's fundamentals in vocabulary. My husband and I started this as soon as we found out we were expecting as well. Below is the list of what we have already read (mind you some days you just fall asleep and forget to read). Of course we hope to continue our reading to the child way after we have the baby but it is fun as parents to be right now just visiting our childhood and reading books some new and some from when we were little. I will say we DID NOT go out and buy all these books. I have a huge collection of them from when I was a child and also from my little nephew and yard sale finds that we did.
