Last year, I set a goal to read at least one book per week. Unfortunately, I only made it to 35, but I also spent two months backpacking across Spain, so I’ll give myself a break. In 2016, I’m going to try my little challenge again. I tend to get bogged down in long, serious books for weeks, so just like last year, I’m making this challenge a little easier by adding graphic novels, trade paperbacks, and romance novels (all of which generally take me less than a couple of hours to devour) to the list. Hopefully I’ll sneak in a few more dense reads to remain somewhat respectable. We’ll see.
