Bookmarks for December 2012




*Bookmarks is an online book club hosted at Creative2xmom. Here we discuss the books we've read in the past month as well as the suggested reading. Our suggested reading for December was Don't Make Me Come Up There by Kristen Welch.

These are the books I read this month:

Christmas in Apple Ridge by Cindy Woodsmall--See my review here.

Come by the Table by Neta Jackson--See my review here.

Our suggested reading for December was Don't Make Me Come Up There by Kristen Welch-- This book was a breath of fresh air, read in the hecticness of December.  Written in short 2-3 page devotionals, Welch writes about the craziness of motherhood in all its glory. Embarrassing your child in front of her school?  Yep, been there.  Trying to tame the competition trap?  Yep, done that.  Comparing yourself to other moms?  Oh, I don't even want to touch that topic.  Don't Make Me Come Up There is filled with tales that every mother can relate to.  And you know what?  Welch manages to describe them with witt and humor, without condemnation.  Loved it!  Laughed Out Loud!  Identified With Every Page!

So what are your bookmarks this month?

Tell us in the comments about the books you're chewing on. Or link up a review from your own blog. Let's share the books we're finding, good and bad. And give us your thoughts on Don't Make Me Come Up There by Kristen Welch.

And come back Wednesday January 2, 2013 as I reveal the suggested reading for 2013!  Can you believe it.  So excited to be working on the list right now.
