Book Week 2012

I love books. Many of you do too. So last year I decided to devote a week in December to nothing but books. That makes this the second annual book week blog (cue trumpet fanfare). I hope you'll find a couple books you want to read in the coming year and maybe a Christmas idea or two.

Here's what you can expect this week:

Tuesday – My Favorite Book of the Year. Not the best book of 2011, but the book I enjoyed reading most during the past 12 months (other than the Bible of course).

Wednesday – A Sneak Peak at 2012. I asked several Christian publishers to highlight a few new releases they thought readers of my blog would want to know about. I whittled the list down to three books per publisher. Obviously, I haven't read these books yet (with a couple exceptions), so I can't speak to the exact content. But I think you'll agree there are many books to look forward to next year.

Thursday – Book Blog Grab Bag. I asked several friends of mine to provide book recommendations in a few different categories. Come back on Thursday to get recommendations from David Platt, Matt Chandler, and others.

Friday – Top Ten Books of 2011. The best books I've read, Christian or non-Christian, published in 2011 (or the very end of 2010).
