Tim's 36 Books in 2017

[Tim]

I feel that 36 books for 2017 is a very reachable goal. That averages out to three books a month.

It is lower than my 2016 goal (50 books) where I might be able to reach 25. Of course I had a few months I didn't do any reading because of ongoing medical problems.

My main challenge is to read as many Nook books and Kindle books that I have already downloaded and all the books that I've bought a thrift stores and library sales read. Of course I keep downloading free Nook and Kindle books on an almost daily basis.

Hi Tim, I hope you are well! Are you managing to get through your pile of books?

Thank you for asking. I already have 25 books read this year, two more in progress. I'm running well ahead of my goal.

Good job, Tim. Have you read any great books that you would recommend?

[Tim]

If you're wondering about my favorites so far this year, I'd recommend the first three in the Jack Ryan Universe series by Tom Clancy (Without Remorse, Patriot Games and The Hunt for Red October)

I'd also recommend any of the Sherlock Holmes books by Arthur Conan Doyle. I also really like One of Ours by Willa Cather which takes place during World War 1.

Best of luck reaching your goal, Tim! You're off to a great start!
