Goodreads 2017 Reading Challenge

Each year I try to set a goal for reading, but never really follow through with it. As a wife, mother, teacher, volunteer, and human being, life tends to take over and get in the way.

I attempted the challenge last year and was able to complete it and then some. I set a goal for 30 books and ended up reading 41 books.

I set a goal this year for 50 novels. So far my reading challenge has been going well. I just finished book 13 and according to Goodreads, I am 1 book ahead of schedule.

In this year's challenge, I have finished The Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer, completed the Divergent series by Veronica Roth, completed The Shiver series by Maggie Stiefvater, read the novel my Pre AP students will be reading soon, After by Francine Prose, and begun Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling.

Majority of my reading is YA literature with some children and adult literature. I have a running list of books that I want to read this summer to check out from our school library, download from OverDrive, or to purchase. The list I plan on reading is below.

1. The Thousandth Floor by Katharne McGee
2. The City of Ember series by Jeanne DePrau
3. The War That Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
4. The Memory Book by Lara Avery
5. The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp by Kathi Appelt
6. Anything You Want by Geoff Herbach
7. Read Between the Lines by Jo Knowles
8. A Week of Mondays by Jessica Brody
9. Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone
10. All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
11. Wonder by R. J, Palacio
12. I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
13. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
14. The Raven Boys series by Maggie Stiefvater
15. The Selection series by Kiera Cass
16. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

This is not including any children's or adult novels or books that I may come across. It looks like the summer will be filled with a lot of reading and stepping into different realities and emerging into many different character lives.
