Get back into the habit of reading with this simple Yearly Reading Plan.
I’ve had a really productive couple of days in this New Year including figuring out this Yearly Reading Plan. Yes I know you can’t cook it! But I am a big reader. Actually the majority of my reading these days is spent with my children. I read aloud to them most nights at bedtime and plan to until they leave the house. You can read more about why HERE.
But I haven’t been in a book club in ages and I miss having a plan so I created one today. I thought you might enjoy following it as well. One book a month so it should be low stress. It feels low stress to me anyway.
I figured January was a good time to reflect and revisit an old classic. I think I’m going to revisit The Great Gatsby. I only read it once in high school and never got around to seeing the movie adaptation of it with Leonardo DeCaprio. So for whatever reason I’m drawn to it.
What book would you start with? Will you follow this reading plan with me this year? What are some of your favorite books? I’ll need some friend recommendations once I get to July. Happy New Year and here’s to resolutions like taking more time to pursue things you enjoy!

The Great Gatsby–it has been decades since I read that. I think I want to start with Scarlet Letter.
Jenni says
What a great list! I love reading – its one of my favorite things to do – besides cook and eat!
Rachel @ {i love} my disorganized life says
I wasn’t a fan of reading in high school, but when we hd to read The Count of Monte Cristo for English class, I was hooked! Funny, because I’ve been wanting to read it again!
Jackie Garvin says
What a great idea. I’ve always love to read. If your plan can encourage folks to read 12 books a year, kudos to you!
Megan @ MegUnprocessed says
Interesting! Great guide for those wanting to read but don’t know where to start.

This is such a great idea! I’ve never thought about mixing it up by month. Great list!
Heather says
I love this idea. I have always wanted to do a book club and this would be an awesome schedule.
