2026 Books Read

  2025 Reading Goals:  Along with an online challenge...or two...I hope to achieve the following:

  1. to read everyday (social media does not count!)
  2. to read an average of one book per week = minimum of 52 books
  3. to read two books a month from my own TBR pile 
  4. to complete books for book clubs before the meeting time (love book clubs!)
  5. to finish books from previous book club lists...I am always behind!
  6. to read more series (love series!
  7. to completely read more professional books 
  8. to read more young adult books
  9. to read a classic...or four!
  10. ✔ = book read (Begins with Book Clubs)
