2015 Reading Challenge

In 2015 I've decided to read more. My lovely friend Rebakah wrote a post on her 2015 reading goal of reading 50 books! My abilities is not quite up to par with reading 50 books this year, but I will be participating in the same reading challenge with her, Modern Mrs. Darcy's Reading Challenge. The goal is 12 books from 12 different categories for each of the 12 months. I'm hoping that maaaaaybe I'll be able to finish early and maaaaaaaybe get to 20 books in 2015. We'll see! 

Here are the categories and the books I've designated for each:

• a book you've been meaning to read -- Tables in the Wilderness by Preston Yancey
• a book published this year
• a book in a genre you don't usually read -- (potentially) The Green Mile by Stephen King
• a book from your childhood -- (potentially and taking cue from Rebekah) The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
• a book your mom loves 
• a book that was originally written in a different language -- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
• a book "everyone" has read but you -- The Giver by Lois Lowry 
• a book you chose because of the cover
• a book by a favorite author -- either A Year of Biblical Womanhood or Searching for Sunday by Rachel Held Evans
• a book recommended by someone with great taste -- Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
• a book you should have read in high school -- (potentially) Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card 
• a book that's currently on the bestseller list -- either Wild by Cheryl Strayed or I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai 

And here we go! I finished The Giver on Friday, and I just started The Ocean at the End of the Lane. 

Do you have any reading goals this year?
