2015: Reading Goals

As I shared in my goals post, I am going to attempt to read 50 books this year. Eee!

I have a few specific challenges for myself, like finishing Birth Art's book list and reading a few books by Malcolm Gladwell and Jim Collins. But then I thought, why stop there? Go big or go home, right?

So I'm participating in a reading challenge from Modern Mrs. Darcy. It's a fun addition to spice up my reading list, and I'll be adding it within my goal of 50 books. 12 books in 12 months, so each month I'll be sharing my thoughts on a book from one of these categories. Hold me accountable, readers - ask me for updates!

Modern Mrs. Darcy's 2015 Reading Challenge {with my plans in parentheses}:

• a book you've been meaning to read {Yes Please by Amy Poehler}

• a book published this year {Golden Son by Pierce Brown}

• a book in a genre you don't usually read

• a book from your childhood {The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank - I tried to read this as a pre-teen but didn't finish}

• a book your mom loves

• a book that was originally written in a different language {The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas - gulp!}

• a book "everyone" has read but you {The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath}

• a book you chose because of the cover

• a book by a favorite author {waiting for Sarah Bessey's second book!}

• a book recommended by someone with great taste

• a book you should have read in high school {I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou}

• a book that's currently on the bestseller list
