I have a shelf designated just for the books I intend to read in 2017. I did the same for 2015 and 2016. It helped when I needed to look at a specific set of books.

Mary | 709 comments Sounds like a plan,Jeanne!


message 4: by J. W. (new)

J. W. Garrett (jeannewallacegarrett) | 1166 comments Thanks Mary!


message 5: by Anji (new)

Anji | 275 comments Good idea Jeanne. Probably going to pinch that idea and do the same. Problem will be sticking to it!


message 6: by J. W. (new)

J. W. Garrett (jeannewallacegarrett) | 1166 comments As I indicate that I have "read" a book, I can, at the same time, click the 2016 or soon 2017 box. I didn't realize it would be that simple. Or if I indicate "currently reading" I can click the year. You can go to my profile and see my shelf titles and how I indicated the years.

Mary | 709 comments 2 days into 2017 and two books under your belt already,Jeanne!! Never doubted you for a minute!! Great job!

J. W. Garrett (jeannewallacegarrett) | 1166 comments I didn't attempt it last year and watched with jealous eyes as others progressed through theirs. I decided I would try it this year.

I'm just really bad at posting in the challenges I sign up for. I have no problem blogging, but I want to get more active here, so I'm hoping this will motivate me!

There have been so many good books showing up here as we start the new year that I am glued to my kindle - not up to Jeanne's level but enjoying long, then short, then long, again books of mostly great quality. I have read 5 and am about 1/2 way through an ARC copy of a soon to be released book...and it is another one of medium length.
