My Favorite NONFICTION Books From 2017
As you probably figured out from my earlier post about my favorite fiction books from last year, fantasy is my favorite genre. I’ve been trying to read more nonfiction books recently, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed them.
For me, it’s vital that nonfiction books let me get caught up in the story or provide information that is applicable to my life. Here are the nonfiction books that captured my attention last year.

My Favorite FICTION Books From 2017
I can’t believe it was way back in 2007 that I started keeping my journal of the books I’ve read. There is something so satisfying about noting when I finish reading a book. Sometimes I jot a few notes about what I liked best, and sometimes, I go off and write a scathing paragraph outlining the book’s faults. I think I enjoy both equally!
At the end of each year, I look back and tally up how many books I read (58 last year—a new record for me!) and note which were my favorites. I wanted to share those favorites with you all.

Once Upon a Time…
…is a wonderful beginning for a fairy tale, so it seems a fitting beginning for this new blog.
After all, there is something magical about putting words together to form stories and crafting something unique with your own hands.
Similarly, on our journeys of faith and through the mires of chronic illness, there are plenty of dragons to do battle with. And as we journey on, our hope and courage are bolstered by remembering that good wins in the end.
I hope you find encouragement here, no matter where you are in your journey.
Thank you for joining me on this new adventure!
