2017: The year I failed my book list

I had lofty goals in January 2017. Those goals included a

lengthy list of books I wanted to read (35!) before the year came to a close. . . and I’m here to admit today that I failed.

Massively.

In truth, I only knocked three books off that list last year. Two I remembered to check off online and one—Stephen King’s On Writing, which I highly recommend—I apparently forgot about.

I read a few other books—books that weren’t on the list and I apparently wasn’t thoughtful enough to go add them so that I’d look more accomplished—but nowhere near the 35 I set out to read.

So this year, I’m giving myself a fresh start. I’m reworking that list, removing a few books and adding in some others. You can check out my 2018 reading list here.

When you do, you’ll discover the challenge I’m issuing. I want YOU, the readers, to pick out one book for me to read this year. What novel do you think I just have to read? Is there a biography, leadership or devotional book I should check out? It’s up to you!
