Thanks, Anima! I look forward to this challenge.

Good luck Stacey! I'll be doing the challenge along side with you.

Good luck Stacey! Let us know what you think of the books as you complete them.

As I read the first two books for the year I've decided to tweak my list a little. I have a lot of Spirituality and Eastern religion books and really want to read them. I've meditated and done yoga for years but never on a regular basis. I'm going to focus my list on these types of books to help me stay focused on what I want to accomplish this year (in more ways than one). I hope there are books for each letter of the alphabet!

Well, sticking with my focus topics has not gone as well as I wanted but I should have known better.

I was thrilled to see that this group is doing a group read of The Shining and Doctor Sleep. Without knowing this I started The Shining a few days ago. Looking forward to the conversation on those.

I stopped including duplicates (there are a few not listed here). That being said, I need to focus on the letters I haven't read yet.
