my 2018 reading list

the reading life

11 Jan

I’ve been an avid bookworm all my life. I love, love, love the written word and losing myself in a really great read. However, the past few years, my reading has gone down dramatically and it’s been killing me. This year I am determined to pull myself out of the biggest, longest, most detrimental reading slump I’ve ever been in. I started more books than I finished and have truly missed the effect good, consistent reading has always had on my life. After stumbling across 3 beautiful blog posts the other day(Valerie @ Val Marie Paper, Corie @ The Reset Girl & Gretchen Saffler @ Well Watered Women), I decided I need to construct my reading list for 2018 and be intentional about reading more than I have in a long time.

My goal is to read at least 50 books this year. There are definitely more than 50 on this list but I didn’t have the heart to do any cutting. I don’t expect to knock out all these titles by any means but I plan on getting through a good portion of them. Reading is so much a personal and emotional thing. I don’t want to ever feel like just because it’s on my list I HAVE to read it this year. I want to give myself options and no pressure. I will probably also read some books that aren’t even on this list. The great thing about book-loving is that there are always new titles to discover! The only goal is to finish at least 50.

A good number of the books on my list are ones that I own, have started and never finished, some I’ve owned for a long time and never cracked open and still others are books that I don’t own and am itching to buy. Also, I don’t plan on reading all of them in physical hard copies. I’ll read some on my Kindle and listen to some on audio (which is how I do a good chunk of my reading).

Alrighty, enough prelude! Let’s get to that list!

Memory keeping is not something I’m naturally good at (for one thing, I don’t take enough photos) but I still reeeeally like creative journaling and I have a whole ton of supplies I need to use. Soooooooo I thought I’d try a different approach. Still formulating the concept but it’s looking like creative journaling + project planning + goal tracking.
.
One thing I know for certain about myself when it comes to projects: I follow through better when I can see it. Why not have a fun space to plan and visualize my projects and goals? 
I’ve been having fun with several spreads and I can’t wait to do a video and share with y’all. I think this is an approach my brain can wrap itself around 😜🧠 Stay tuned!

Walked with no one and talked with no one⁠ And I Walked with no one and talked with no one⁠
And I had nothing but shadows⁠
Then one morning you passed⁠
And I brightened at last⁠
Now I greet the day and complete the day⁠
With the sun in my heart⁠
All my worry blew away⁠
When you taught me how to say⁠
⁠
Grab your coat and get your hat⁠
Leave your worry on the doorstep⁠
Just direct your feet⁠
To the sunny side of the street⁠
Can't you hear a pitter-pat?⁠
And that happy tune is your step⁠
Life can be so sweet⁠
On the sunny side of the street⁠
⁠
I used to walk in the shade⁠
With those blues on parade⁠
But I'm not afraid⁠
This Rover crossed over⁠
⁠
If I never have a cent⁠
I'd be rich as Rockefeller⁠
Gold dust at my feet⁠
On the sunny side of the street⁠
Grab your street⁠

Whenever I feel afraid⁠ I hold my head erect⁠ Whenever I feel afraid⁠
I hold my head erect⁠
And whistle a happy tune⁠
So no one will suspect I'm afraid⁠
⁠
I strike a careless pose⁠
And whistle a happy tune⁠
And no one ever knows I'm afraid⁠
⁠
The result of this deception⁠
Is very strange to tell⁠
For when I fool the people⁠
I fear I fool myself as well⁠
⁠
I whistle a happy tune⁠
And every single time⁠
The happiness in the tune⁠
Convinces me that I'm not afraid⁠
⁠
Make believe you're brave⁠
And the trick will take you far⁠
You may be as brave⁠
As you make believe you areYou may be as brave⁠
As you make believe you are⁠
