I have decided to try and read more this year. I’m always reading, but I’ve avoided fiction for a long time because I get absorbed in a book and life goes on around me. So I’ve created a 555 challenge for myself (because I was too late for the 888 and 999 seems too daunting). 5 books in 5 different categories with only 5 overlaps.
I wasn’t sure what categories I would pick (I was idealizing categories like 5 CS Lewis classics, but we’ll see), but here’s my start:
5 Sophie Kinsella books (since I’ve already read 2 this week)
Remember Me?
Can you Keep a Secret
next up: Shopaholic
5 Carl Hiaasen Books
Nature Girl
Double Whammy (in progress)
next up: Basket Case
Other categories I’m considering: 5 Legal Thrillers, 5 NY Times bestsellers, 5 Oprah choices, 5 books from the library “don’t miss” table . . .
