2018 in 2018

I reviewed 2,018 books

In 2018.

The King of Attolia

Although I’ll listen to it over the next day or two,

I spent a few precious free time hours

To enjoy reading it first.

Introspection

Though it’s the last Sunday of the year, 

I spent only perhaps 30 minutes on introspection.

I accomplished a lot of my goals this year,

But didn’t do much relationally. 

I don’t really want to think about this all.

The Queen of Attolia

So good that I read the ending on Friday night,

Stayed up to 1am Saturday night to hear the ending,

Then read it again. 

Two Kings

Hezekiah said, “Ah, well. Let the destruction come.

It won’t be in my lifetime.”

Jesus said, “Let the destruction fall on me.”

Diamond Art

In his stocking, Isaiah got a craft project:

Sticking hundreds of tiny bits of bling onto a prepared sheet. 

The end result was far cooler than I would have expected.

Space Activity Book

While the older boys watched three or four episodes 

Of Parks and Rec, I reviewed books. 

I found an activity book that, on first sight seemed dreadful,

But then I noticed: stickers! Mazes! 

So Caleb spent hour after hour with me, carefully coloring,

Stickering, writing.
