My Reading Log…..So Far

At the beginning of this year I created my goals for the year.  Not resolutions, goals.  One of those goals was to read one non fiction book per month and three fiction.  I’ve done pretty good with the fiction books, not so much with the non fiction.  But, I’m working on it. 

I got myself a 2021 Reading Challenge Journal to help me keep track of the books that I’m reading.  It allows me to set up my own challenges and goals, which I really like.  I picked a theme for each month and then on the monthly pages, I track the books I’ve read.  Here is what I’ve read so far this year:

January Theme:  Thriller Books

1. When I Was You by Minka Kent
2. Judgement by Carey Baldwin
3. Fallen by Carey Baldwin
4. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno (I just couldn’t finish this one)
5. Spin by Patricia Cornwell
