JJ | 74 comments Each month, I will try to read at least one book from each of the following five general categories:


PD - pers/prof development, inspiration, health and fitness

BioH - auto/biography, memoirs, history

Nov - mystery, crime, romance

Adv - adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, YA

Cl - classics

B/O - bonus/other books from these categories or other genres

Some months, I might decide to defer the categories for a special theme, such as horror for October/Halloween.

Last year I read 84 books! Hope to surpass that in 2015!!
