These are all the books I’ve read in the past year. My goal was to read 35 books; I didn’t even crack 20 reads. I’ll be honest; I hit a serious slump this past summer, I can usually knockout between 6-8 light novels between June and September alone. I could have reasonably read 35 novels in 12 months. I wasted too much time on those free crappy romance novels from Amazon.com. I should have invested in some really good reads. I got cheap. I got lazy too; I’d be watching TV or YouTube when I should have been reading.

 My reading goals for the upcoming year are the same but with a few tweaks. I am still aiming for 35 reads but I’m going to spend less time reading flimsy novels and I want to expand my reading to be more diverse.

 

New reading goals: I’d like to read…

2 or 3 graphic novels

1 book on physics

1 book in on business or economics

1 book in Spanish (yes, I can read Spanish)

1 Christian romance that will not make me gag

1 really good romance novel

 

1 self -help

I am already stocked with a few of these books; others have to acquire. And I realize that some of these goals maybe hard to reach (like those romance novels) but I am willing to have an open mind and step out of my comfort zone. I also think I could tackle more classic literature. We’ll see, I think I’ve set some decent challenges and I’m ready to get going!

As always I will post what I read with links.
