Reading Challenge for 2017

Please join me for this year’s reading challenge!

I hope you like the new list. I think it is easier than last year’s and more open ended. Thank you for all your input on what this list should look like. Note that I have no intention of doing this list in order, so you need not feel like you need to either. You can click the print button below to print it out.

Also, I encourage you to share this list with others! Let’s get collectively involved, both reading and sharing what we think about what we read.

I’ll post some updates seasonally on how I’m coming along with this goal, and would love to hear from you in the comments anytime!

I work to amplify good wherever I find it. I love color, texture, beauty, great ideas, nature, metaphor, deliciousness, genuine spirituality, and exploring new territory. I encourage authenticity, nurture creativity, champion sustainability, promote peace, and hope to foster a new renaissance where we all are free to be our most fulfilled, multifaceted, and terrific selves.

    Speaking of a book I’m so glad I read, I just finished “A Man Called Ove,” (the audiobook, where the name was pronounced “ooveh”). I really enjoyed it!
