For the past three years I’ve made goals for how many books I want to read in the year. And (knock on wood) each year I’ve met my goal–twice I even exceeded the goal! So this year I’m tying to push myself to read even more. This year I’m going to set a reach goal of reading *drumroll please* 120 books!
I don’t set reading goals to make reading into homework or a competition. I set reading goals because part of the way I take care of myself is taking time to read and disconnect from the world. I also read to expand my knowledge and worldview. So I’m also aiming to read more books by women, by people of color, and more nonfiction books this year.
Without further ado, here are the books I read in January:
- When No One Is Watching – Alyssa Cole
- A Good Marriage – Kimberly McCreight
- The Book of Two Ways – Jodi Picoult
- Know My Name – Chanel Miller
- To Shake the Sleeping Self – Jedidiah Jones
- The Cousins – Karen M. McManus
- Outlawed – Anna North
- The Survivors – Jane Harper
- The Power of Ritual – Casper ter Kuile
- Untamed – Glennon Doyle
As you can see, I’m off to a good start! I have a big stack of TBR books but I’m always looking for titles to add. What should I read this year?
xoxo,
J
