Ok, I have to confess, I am addicted to reading. If I have a free moment, I read. I can read couple of books at the same time to spice up my addiction :) Before and during my pregnancy, I practically lived at the Redondo Beach library. Now,  having a  6 month old baby, I have to be creative with my reading time. But it hasn't stopped me. My problem , or I should say a blessing in disquise, is I am very inquisitive. I have to know everything about everything, so I read. Here is my list of books for July:

Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxas
This is definitely one of my favorite books. A detailed biography of a truly Godly man who was willing to stand up against Hitler and defend everything that is right.

 Saint Augustine: Confessions

Peter the Great: His Life and World
This is the most exciting history book you will ever read. Some history events can be boring especially when it comes to war descriptions, but here you actually find it easy and enjoyable to read. Especially growing up in Russia,  this book is very close to home. Saint Petersburg is my favorite city in the world, and it's amazing to read about the sequence of events that led to the building of the city on the swampy ground and its significance in turning the Russian Empire towards the West.

The Inferno by Dante
I read this book about 15 years ago when I was in high school. I honestly don't remember much, so I've decided to read it again with a more mature perspective on Dante's masterpiece.

I am linking up my list to Sarah Mae’s 2012 reading list.
