Hey, ya'll!
If you know us, then you know we love reading. The problem is, both of us feel like we have no time to read, which is not true. We just like making excuses for our procrastinating issues. No more!
Thanks to a friend of Katie's, who suggested the idea in the first place, our goal for 2016 is to read 100 books each. Sound impossible? It's not. It's going to be difficult, but also a whole bunch of fun. At the end of the year, whether we make it to our goal or not, we'll post a list of some or all of the books we read. We'll probably also give you occasional updates throughout the year.
If you've made a 2016 reading goal, let us know in the comments - whether you're shooting for 10, 20, 100, or 110 books. Tell us your favorite titles, or the books that you plan to read this year. We'd love to hear from you!
Before we wrap up our post, we want to give a few tips on achieving your reading goal:
1. Aim a little higher than you think you can/should, but not too high. Chances are, if you try for more than you think you can do, you'll end up impressing yourself!
2. Don't decide ahead of time exactly which books you will read. Make a comprehensive list of all the titles that interest you, then choose as you go. You can always add to the list over the course of the year.
3. Make it a fun, relaxing thing to do, not a chore; you've got enough of those already.
With that, we hope you have an amazing year filled with all the best books. See ya later! We've got some reading to do!
I'll join ya'll in your goal! I really wanna read more books this year and 100 sounds good. =)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! We'll have to keep each other updated on our progress - and share reading recommendations, of course! :D

Hmm... Historical fiction, biographies, classics, a little fantasy...mostly realistic fiction though. :) side note: I really do not like romance. :D what's your kind of books?
DeleteThese fit into the genres you named and have little or no romance: Sherlock Holmes, A Little Princess, The Secret Garden, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Golden Goblet, To Kill a Mockingbird, Gregor the Overlander, The Wind in the Willows, Dealing With Dragons, Howl's Moving Castle, Anne of Green Gables, Emily of New Moon, and a great number of Shakespeare plays.
DeleteDisclaimer: Reader discretion is always advised. Most of these books are pretty light in tone and subject matter, but some of them deal with heavier stuff. (I'm thinking especially of To Kill a Mockingbird.)
As for me, I have very eclectic reading tastes. I like to read a little bit of everything, but tend to do a lot of classics and fantasy.
