2016 Reading Goals Progress
/
Spring is officially here, meaning it's a whole new season of reading! I set some pretty ambitious goals at the beginning of the year in hopes of getting my TBR down. Here's how I did.
The Good: Classics
I made a list of 8 classics I want to read this year, and during the winter I read two of them. I just need to keep up that pace, and I'll nail this.
The Bad: Non-fiction
I read 16 out of the 50 non-fiction books I want to read this year, but only 7 of them were from my list of 40 assigned books. I need to pick it up if I want to read all 40 in 2016.
The Ugly: Read Out Louds
I assigned myself 5 chapter books to read out loud to the kids, and I didn't read any! (We did read two chapter books out loud, but none from the list.) I would say that we'll make up for it in spring, but we just discovered Mr. Lemoncello!
My TBR
I made all of these lists at the beginning of the year as a way to really make an effort to read down my TBR. I started with 400 books, and am up to 401. So, I appear to add books at the same rate I read them. I guess I can be happy with that.
Reading Challenges
I love reading challenges! I'm doing two so far in 2016.
For The Modern Mrs. Darcy Reading Challenge I've read:
A book published this year: Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend
A book you can finish in a day: The Perfect Comeback of Caroline Jacobs
A book you've been meaning to read: 10% Happier
A book you own but have never read: Left For Dead
A book that intimidates you: The Green Road
For The Book Riot Read Harder Challenge I've Read:
Read a book out loud to someone else: Love From Paddington
Read a dystopian or post-apocalyptic novel: An Ember in the Ashes
Read a book of historical fiction set before 1900: The Mapmaker's Children
Read a book that was adapted into a movie, then watch the movie: A Walk in the Woods
Read a food memoir: Plenty
Read a play: The Importance of being Earnest
