Ps. The books don’t necessarily have to be non fiction 😉
This month, I joined a few book groups on Goodreads. Mostly because I want to read books that don’t fall directly into my comfort zone. Of course, I mostly ended up joining a YA group or two. I couldn’t help myself. But, I’ve also joined a group that reads only non-fiction. And I’ve been making an effort to read books I wouldn’t have bothered with before. So it’s working. Kind of. I came across this reading challenge posted by Emily May on Goodreads and found it pretty cool, so I’m going to try to do about one of these books a month. I’m not attempting to complete it in 2016 – I’ve already got a lot on my plate. But this challenge will take precedence over my book group picks.
