Lesley Anne: 17 Books in 2017

I am so excited about today's post! As I mentioned in my last post, I read about half as much as I normally do in 2016, and I think that was partly due to becoming a new mom, and partly because I didn't have a plan in place. As an INFP, structure usually doesn't motivate me, and oftentimes it does the opposite. I'm also a big-time mood reader, so saying I'm going to read a specific book each month doesn't work either. But I knew if I didn't make some sort of plan for this year, I was going to flounder around and end up not reading as much as I would like again. So this year I'm aiming to read 17 books, and giving myself the flexibility to choose from the 25 books listed below. I divided everything up by genre so when a specific mood strikes, I know exactly where to go [and as you'll see under the fiction category, I've obviously declared this as the year of Sarah J. Maas ;) ]. Who knows exactly what this year will hold, but I'm excited to get started!
