"Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality."
~CS Lewis, "The Reading Life"
As an avid reader, I always have a couple kinds of books going at once, some for growing in my faith, some for fun. I plan to keep this page updated with what I'm currently reading!
If you use Goodreads, I am a Goodreads Verified Author! Just search Lynne Miller Lent and you can see what else I enjoy reading!
Current "Seminary Read," started October 5, 2026
Current "fun read", started on August 28, 2026.
Ongoing through 2026... started January 1, 2026.
In 2022, I began reading intentionally to learn and grow in my faith, to educate and challenge my mind to grow. I've kept lists each year as well as taking photos of each stack of books to keep track of how many books I've read. For fun, I'm going to share them here! (Some years I put January on the bottom of the stack in the photos, some years I put it on top. The written list is January on top down to December on the bottom.)
