Lindsay Kutsko – Important to note that yes, I do read a lot of books but the list has been building since I was 13. I also happen to have attended a ton of Bible studies that went through books and also have a major in ministry from College. Much of my required reading sits on my shelves. But aside from that here’s how I usually approach reading.

I spend the morning reading my Bible- usually over breakfast. I am a “MUST HAVE BREAKFAST” gal so it’s an easy way to make sure I get fed in every way possible. I typically read one page from “The Valley of Vision” prayer book or “My Utmost for His Highest.” Then I start an entry in my journal and read anywhere from 1-4 chapters of whatever book of the Bible I’m working on.

Since I eat lunch alone (dinner when I lived by myself) that’s when I spend a good portion of time reading whatever book is next on my list. I usually ask for books on my Birthday and Christmas after keeping a running list of suggestions from others in the front of my journal. I don’t have a “finish this by this time” goal – I just read a book until it’s done. Some slower books can take me 2-3 months on my lunch pace… but if a story or them catches me I will usually make my lunch last a little longer each day. :)

I used to read fiction in the evenings until I realized I was reading more Harry Potter than anything else. I needed some veggies and protein in my high-carb diet! I now typically only read fiction on vacation. It gives me something to look forward to.

That’s probably more than you wanted and I don’t know if it help – so here are some words from another blog that helped me know it was OK to speed read sometimes! http://www.crosswalk.com/blogs/kevin-east/how-to-read-a-book-in-an-hour.html

Ginger – You read A LOT of books! How do you recommend getting started reading books? I have such a huge bookshelf with so many I want to read when really I feel like the Bible is the one I should be opening for the few moments I have each day to read. Do you set book reading goals? I sometimes think I’m just not a reader. But I feel like that’s like someone saying “I’m just not a runner.”

@3ea8efda0617c4e7c7aaf28c115bdb51:disqus – I was feeling a bit anxious about this response so your encouragement came at just the right time. Made my day, actually. I should have said as much the moment this came through. xo

@disqus_gTWBTBM2J4:disqus – That first name is all you – you are welcome to it! Although it does remind me of a camp name. I worked with a “Spactacle.” :)
