Books

This past year, Dan and I decided to recommend books to each other. This worked out really well, as we both like a lot of the same type of books and it also pushed us out of our comfort zones as I made him read Christian fiction and he had me read some history books. Though some of the books I wouldn't have chosen for myself, I can say I enjoyed reading them and it was always fun finding out what my next book would be. :) Here is a list of the books we read...and recommend:
