2015 Book List
100 books read. That is what I want to be able to say at the end of 2015. It is kind of a lofty goal. I mean, that is two books a week! I’ll let you in on a little secret, I have only read one book so far this year. And it is already the 16th!
I have seen a lot of people put up their reading list for the year, and I thought that was an awesome idea!
Of course, compiling a reading list is not an easy feat.
I thought that I might be able to easily write down 100 books that I wanted to read this year. Writing down 100 books is easy, but figuring out the ones that I want to read this year, not so easy!

So technically this is only 30 books. But, I feel like it is a really good start! It certainly is heavy on the non-fiction, but that is what I am feeling right now. I am sure I will easily get some fiction reading in.
I also want to reiterate: all books that are over 100 pages that I read with the kiddos will also be included in my 100 books read goal!
What is on your reading list this year?
I'm sure you read reviews and whatnot but just have to say GREAT list! Interrupted was a life-changer for me, Unglued has been remarkably helpful for me as a mom, A Thousand Gifts is tough to read (just how she writes) but good once you get used to it, and 7 by Jen Hatmaker is one of my favorites of all time. I'll have to look up some I don't know about. Love seeing what others are reading so thanks for sharing!
I am really looking forward to Interrupted – I have heard similar things about all the books in that picture actually 🙂 I need to start digging into them! This blizzard is giving me a perfect excuse to curl up with a book!!
I read Dumbing Us Down last year. Fascinating and so inspiring!
Great list. Try and we all completely beside ourselves. I recommend this book to everyone. It's a big break from a formula novel and I love it. I just started a new blog (I found you from my old one ;)) https://blackheartclubhouse.wordpress.com/
I have a LOT of the same books you do on your list! We are doing going through Jen Hatmaker's "7" right now on my blog! 🙂 I'd love for you to link up your list on my party today! (I found you at A Bowl Full of Lemons…I'll be back!) 🙂

I love Sally Clarkson and No Impact Man and many others on this list. Maybe Mark Boyle's The Moneyless Man? Look forward to seeing how you are going and getting some new reading ideas myself!
Wonderful book list! I have read a few of those pictured and am looking forward to reading the others! Happy Reading!
