I’m setting two goals when it comes to reading this year. I’m committing to reading 25 minutes a day, and I’m going to read 25 books from my library that I haven’t yet read.
As much as I would like to commit to reading more I’ve found over the last few years that this is a reasonable amount for me. I’m impressed with several of my young Mama friends who have read triple this amount, even with the responsibility of young children.
For a while I beat myself up because my attention span just doesn’t seem to be what it used to be. Then I read something Joyce Meyers wrote about aging, and accepting your “new normal.”
I’m excited to say that I’ve gotten started, and am actually finishing up The Engineer’s Wife, a book I posted about before that just didn’t hold my interest. I’m learning more about life in the early 1900’s, the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, and about caisson disease.
As it turns out the books I have chosen are about 50/50 fiction and nonfiction. I’m including the list below, sans the author.
☑️The Engineer’s Wife
☑️Becoming Mrs. Lewis
The Women
Life in Five Senses
What You’re Really Meant to Do
Hidden Figures
The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane
The Let Them Theory
The Midnight Library
☑️Wintering
Chasing Slow
The Year of Living Virtuously
The Self-Care Year
Live Not By Lies
The Time Keeper
☑️The Book of Ichigo Ichie
No Cure For Being Human
A Simplified Life
The Broken Road
The Forgotten Road
The Road Home

☑️How to Age Without Getting Old

What are your reading aspirations this year?
