Booking It in 2016

Posted on January 26th, 2016

I wrote about several New Years resolutions last week, but neglected to share one of my own– more reading!

I genuinely love reading, and always have, but (as for so many of us) I’ve been finding it harder to make time since leaving school, which was basically a world of structured reading.  Besides my job (duh), volunteering, and running, I essentially have four main hobbies: needlepointing,  cooking, blogging, and reading.  And I really like them all!  So I haven’t exactly figured out how I’m going to make more time for reading when I don’t really want to spend less time on the other activities…

Less sleeping, perhaps?

But!  Part of the key to finding time for reading is having amazing books on deck.  I’m currently reading The Nightingale, but here are a few others on my list per the suggestions of others (with a few others that I’ve enjoyed recently thrown in, too):

Look Again // The Storied Life of AJ Fikry // The Martian // Mr. Penumbra’s 24 Hour Bookstore // The Buried Giant // Big Magic // The Book of Unknown Americans // Brooklyn // The Nightingale // All the Light We Cannot See

A huge range.  The current plan is to try reading for twenty minutes (or more) before bed each night.  Please hold me to it by suggesting your favorites, too!
