As my mom (who I know reads these blog posts) will attest, I’ve always been a big reader. Apparently, it’s what our family does. I noticed a lot of people posting in December about how many books they read in 2014, and I realized I had absolutely no clue how many books I read. A lot?
So when I saw that Goodreads was doing a 2015 Reading Challenge, I decided to participate. It seemed like an easy way to keep track of what I was reading. But then how many books should I pick? I decided to go easy and I picked 52. One book a week. That’s easily doable, and allows for some longer books.
Last night, I finished my 7th book of the year. Goodreads tells me that puts me 2 books ahead of schedule. Go me!
But I can always use recommendations for books to read. What have you read lately? I’ll start. I read The Martian based on everyone’s recommendation. Based on the book blurb, I didn’t think it sounded all that great, but really, all of these people couldn’t be wrong. They weren’t. It was amazing. Go read it.
Anyone else doing a book challenge this year?
