Here’s my complete Goodreads challenge for 2017, if you’re interested. In many ways, these books define the story of my 2017:ġ. I read probably 70% non-fiction books/30% fiction but my ideal ratio involves reading one fiction and one nonfiction book at a time, perhaps in different formats (audiobook vs paper book, for example). Goodreads makes it easy to track progress in a personal reading challenge, letting you know whether you’re ahead, on schedule, or behind.

To keep me motivated enough to keep pushing forward to hit my goal each year, I use Goodreads, essentially a social network revolving around the books people read. This number sometimes fluctuates but never by much: I seem to find the optimum number of books I can comfortably fit into my life. 52 books or one book per week, to be exact.

In either situation, pay attention to grab the best deal!Įvery year, I read: a lot. In some cases, like with some of the older books on this list, the print version may be a better deal (and if that’s the case, I’ve set the link accordingly).

In most cases, I’ve linked to the Kindle edition of a book-which I consider as the most convenient and affordable. Please note: I’ve added affiliate links to this post in an effort to profit from my passion for reading.
