52 books in 52 weeks

52 Books in 52 Weeks (Part 1)

This year, I’m committing to reading 52 books (one every week!) and I’d love it if you wanted to read along with me! This is part 1, which will take us through the first half of the year. I might trade something out at some point (I’ll adjust the schedule if that happens), but I wanted a plan, and this is it. There will probably be some new books brought to my attention in the next few months, so I’ll do Part 2 in June or so.

I’ve selected a lot of personal development books along with some yoga books and a couple of novels and memoirs. You can see my posts about them on social media as I complete them, so if you’re reading along, please chime in! Also, if you have book recommendations, please share.
