Last year I read books, but only a few from my booklist. Yes I have a problem with reading other books, books that are not on my list, and yes I realize that this really isn’t a problem.
This next year I want to take my 2015 book list into 2016, I knew it was a lot of books in 2015 and thought spreading the books over two years would be a great option even when I made the list in the first place. I am going to do something a little different this next year. I’ll be more specific with the list, giving books there own month. My hope is that this will help keep me on track. I’m also planning on adding a few great series to my 2016 booklist. I will also join an online book group, I’ll share more of that in a later post. So without further ado, I’m sharing my 2016 booklist.
