In 2017, I created a list of 35 #mustread books, which I just completed with only a few days to go! I am definitely a list maker in most areas of life, and I enjoy having a reading list to guide me as I begin each new year. I tend to make great progress on this list early in the year, and then I slow down as new books pop up and the state award lists are released. This year was no exception, as I followed my typical reading pattern. My list is below:
Audacity Jones to the Rescue by Kirby Larson(2/26/17)Another Brooklyn by Jaqueline Woodson(2/20/17)The Bad Guys by Aaron Blabey(5/31/17)Be Light Like a Bird by Monika Schroder(2/25/17)A Boy Called Bat by Elana K.

I enjoy being part of the #mustread community, and I know it helps me to pause and create a reading list at the beginning of each new year. Thank you to Carrie Gelson for hosting. I always look forward to checking out lists and progress of others, while gaining new titles for myself. I did miss part of my reading goal that I shared last year, which was to use a journal to write about my reading. I started out doing this with little consistency, and eventually gave it up completely. This is going to be a priority on next year's list!
Impressive! I never ever finish my list! But it sure is fun trying. Look forward to your 2018 list.
ReplyDeleteI agree! It's fun to keep track and get ideas from everyone else. Thanks for setting it all up!
