Y’all know by now that this is an annual post for me. Every year, I try to read at least twelve books- one book per month. I know as I’ve talked to people, that there are so many of you that want to read more. My suggestion would be set an achievable goal. One book per month seems very doable for me. I try to read one chapter every morning. I also take a book in the car with me if I know that I’m going to be waiting to pick up a kid somewhere. Those are two easy ways to start a a habit. This year, I had some extra time because of Gary’s stay in the hospital.

Aiming for one chapter a day is definitely going to put you over twelve books by the end of the year. This year, I read thirty three. I always list my books just in case someone reading is looking for their next read!
