Amber M - I loved Kisses for Kate, too! It definitely made me want to do more for the suffering kiddos in the world. If you ever decide that you would like to foster or adopt a kiddo, let me know! :) I'm an adoptions worker.

Tammy - I also read Unbroken! I LOVED that book! It's really a testament of human strength, belief and perseverance! What a man!

Sadie Such - Thanks for sharing your favorites books from this past year! Kisses From Katie sounds like a great book..and am definitely adding it to my list to read. I am being challenged in those similar ways right now... Thanks for the difference you are making in peoples lives now =)

Liene Stevens - Adding Kisses from Katie to my list, thanks for the rec. And my rec is to join the Splendid Book Club, an online book club for entrepreneurs (or anyone, really). : ) readsplendid.com Our first book (chapter 1 is this week) is Daring Greatly by Brené Brown, which I highly recommend. All of her books have been life-changing for me, but this one is blowing me away.

denise karis - Awesome! i love book lists! I'm always looking for new ones. I have a weird addiction to like, teen romance/vampire books. Right now I'm reading the Matched Series. I am loving it so far! :P
