So I realize that we are already more than half-way through the second month of 2018, but I am finally ready to update you on my TBR (to be read) list. A couple weeks back, I installed some new shelves in my office to dedicate to my TBR pile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you can see – I have varied interests when it comes to reading, but one of my Below are my reading lists, which will show the full range of books that I am going to attempt to read in 2018. So far I have only completed one book, but I have 5 more books that should be wrapping up in the next 2 months to get me back on track. Some of those The first list is for the Book Riot Read Harder Challange, which you can check out here<\/a>! I still have a few gaps in my selections, but I’m hoping to fill them in as the year progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see above – I have yet to fill in all the blanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next TBR list is the Social Science books I plan to read. I have set a goal of 12 Social Science books this year and I will not be counting the two that I’ve included above in this additional list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So – that sets me up to read about 30 or so books. I have set my GoodReads challenge at 12 books, but I’m hoping to well exceed that this year. Now – it’s time to read! Let me know what you are reading this year, in the comments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\nPeace, Chantale<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I realize that we are already more than half-way through the second month of 2018, but I am finally ready to update you on my TBR (to be read) list.
