A New Year, time to make new reading goals. In the past I've done number goals where I've tried to read a certain amount in a year or in a month or in a season. I've done other people's challenges such as Read the Books You Buy Challenge and the PopSugar Reading challenge. But this year, I am going to make my own challenge for myself. I have so many books at home and on my Library to Read shelves that I want to make a good dent towards those so the following is my challenge for the year:
- 1 Anne of Green Gables book
- 1 book per month off my library TBR (listed as I go)
January- "The Reluctant Midwife" by Patricia Harman
February - "The Illusionist's Apprentice" by Kristy Cambron
March - "Promise Me This" by Cathy Gohlke
April - "Burial Rites" by Hannah Kent (*)
May - "A Time to Stand" by Robert Whitlow
June - "What Alice Forgot" by Liane Moriarty (*)
July - "No One Ever Asked" by Katie Genshert
August - "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" by Rachel Joyce (*)
September - "The Secret Keeper" by Kate Morton (*)

December - The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

I have listed them as I finish them. Some are crossovers from my library list and my own pile because I may have found the book at a little library and picked it up so I just stuck it in where I felt it fit more. eg. if the book has been on my library list for a long time and then I found it recently I listed it as read in the library section. If however, it's only been on the library list for less than 6 months and now I have it at home I listed it as read from my own pile. Makes sense to no one but me. Ha. But I noted those crossovers with an (*).
