Title Tuesday: 52 Books in 2018

Welcome to  Title Tuesday, my favorite day of the week! This day is dedicated to book suggestions and reviews. I write this portion of my blog because I am a big believer in the motivational speaker Charlie Jones' quote which says, "You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” I try to meet as many new people as possible and to read everything I can. This is my way of sharing that information with you. If you are interested in understanding my rating system for books you can read my Book Review Explanation here and What I Believe here. If you want to check out what I am currently reading or what I want to read next, friend me on Goodreads!


As many of you know, I read a LOT. I always try to set a reading goal for the new year. My general rule of thumb is that I have to read five personal development/self improvement/spiritual life books per one fiction book. This week on Title Tuesday I wanted to share what my goals for reading are this year.


First, before I share my goals for this year, lets talk about how I did for last goals. Last year I read 32 books total. I did fall short of my goal. When we PCSed (that means moved for all you non Army people) to San Diego the movers packed my satchel inside one of the boxes. It took us two weeks to get our boxes back and then it took me two weeks to unpack all the boxes and find said satchel. This resulted in me falling behind. Then when I was in my first trimester during my pregnancy with Kenna I was miserably sick. I think I read four books each month and that was it.

This year my goal is to read 52 books! That comes out to one book a week. I know it is a big commitment especially with Kenna being due in just three months, but I am pretty sure that I can do it! I will be posting up my review of each book that I read on Title Tuesday each week and of course I will be updating my Goodreads religiously so be sure to friend me on Goodreads so we can share book recommendations. 

What are your reading goals for 2018?
