This is the first year in a while I’m not going to shoot for a number of books per month. Instead I’m just going to continue reading every day and let the number take care of itself. I’m also going to read more of what *I* want. If I don’t want to read a particular book – even if it’s for one of my own book clubs. It’s ok! Sometimes a book sounded great but then when you’re holding it in your hands you’re like “meh… not right now.”

Still, I love having multiple book clubs or reading lists lined up to give me a wide variety of books to choose from, and love having my holds maxed out. It’s the key to always reading.

This year I am running my neighborhood book club, which picks books on the fly each month. I’m also going to follow along with Bon’s Book Club, Delicious Reads, and Everyday Reading’s Year of Reading. You can also follow along with my whatever I’m currently reading on my Goodreads and check out my instagram for reviews. Join me with some of these! I’m a walking, talking book club in and of myself.
