I am going to try to do it this time. I may have to start small (Once Upon A Time) because I am constantly reading other books (about 4 at a time) and I am a broke public school employee in Texas. And is it any book released during that month?
Thanks!

Question:Do I have to read the book in the month it is released (meaning avoid books published towards the end of the month)? Or for level 4, for example, I am choosing the 4 new releases from January I want to finish before the year ends.
Thanks for your help.

2017 New Releases Reading Challenge-I really hate committing to an amount per each month of 2017 when a great many publishers have yet to post complete publication lists for the last months of the year. Especially when December is always my biggest problem month for finding enough new book publications. Luckily Indie writers tend to publish then :) Because of this (& a 2017 goal to read older books) I'm being conservative in my monthly quota.
