It’s time to update my Reading Map! This is like a road map of my reading journey. Each month I do a ‘check-up’ to help me see what I’ve accomplished towards my reading goals and to help me see what needs to be done next.
This year I plan to do a lot more ‘free range’ reading, working to empty my shelf of books I’ve been meaning to read, but feeling free to grab whatever I’m in the mood for at the time. In addition, if I happen to come across something at the library that looks interesting, I’m giving myself the freedom to push something off my list and pick up that tempting library book! The only books I will feel compelled to read are book club selections and books I am committed to reading for review purposes.
Here is a summary of my January reading.
Completed From My List
Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger (book club selection)
The Girl With A Clock For A Heart by Peter Swanson (book tour)
The Fever by Megan Abbott
Vanessa and Her Sister by Priya Parmar
Parenting: Illustrated With Crappy Pictures by Amber Dusick

A Sister To Honor by Lucy Ferriss
Not read

Currently Reading
The Ocean At The End Of The Lane by Neil Gaiman (book club selection)
The Long and Far Away Gone by Lou Berney (TLC book tour)
The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson (gift from Harper Collins)
My reading map for February appears below. It looks short but... I have three books ‘in progress’ right now, and I do have a couple of books on reserve at the library which will probably come in next week, so it is likely I won’t get to all of these.

Do you have a ‘map’. If so, share it below in the comments. Maybe I’ll see something I want to add to my list! And if you want to see what other bloggers have planned, check out Reading Queue, hosted by Book Tasty and Books: A True Story. This is a monthly meme similar to my Reading Map feature, in that bloggers share their reading plans for the month. Happy reading!
Great month in books - Kim

ReplyDeleteOther than trying to read ARCs for release date or blog tours, I never plan ahead what I'm going to read. I don't think I would stick to it very well at all.
