My first goal was to read a book a week, every week in the year of 2016. I still intend to read 52 books next year, but not necessarily one a week. I am laying out a plan for four books a month (1-48) and then four books to squeeze in (49-52) wherever I want to read extra. If I read them all in one or two weeks of the month I may take the other weeks off. (Not that this is a job, I love to read and am truly looking forward to this). This list may change according to recommendations and swap outs. If I don't like a book by the fifth chapter I will not finish it. Life is too short to read books you don't enjoy. So keep in mind some of these might be swapped out if someone highly recommends a new book or if I don't like the one I am reading. I will be doing a book review every week as well. I will be letting you know where I am in the process, what book I'm on, and my thoughts.
Comment below and share some of your favorite books with me!
Keep in mind that changes may be due to the fact that I rent most of my books from the library in my city using their online library. Books are placed on hold depending on how many people before you have requested it. Each person keeps the book a limited amount of days. I would love to be able to read season appropriate book during certain months, but that just may not be a possibility in some cases.
