On My Bedside {12 Books in 12 Months}

I see a lot of lofty reading goals on social media but decided to go with one a little more achievable, knowing myself. I don’t remember much from my days at Coke, and I certainly don’t miss setting annual objectives, but I do know how to make a SMA(chievable)RT goal. Is that even still a thing?! :-)

I posted a box for book suggestions on my Instagram. I plugged all the titles into a list and decided to go with the 12 most frequently recommended! I can knock at out least one book a month. Here’s my list:

  1. Lessons in Chemistry – December
  2. The Measure – October
  3. Daisy Jones & The Six – June
  4. Remarkably Bright Creatures – March
  5. The Bronze Horseman – November
  6. The Gown – February
  7. The Dutch House – April
  8. The Push – September
  9. The Greatest Generation – July
  10. Honor – August
  11. Wish You Were Here – May
  12. Where the Forest Meets the Stars – January

If you’re interested in the rest of the recommendations, here you go.

I set alerts for the titles my local library carries and have already picked up the first two for January and February! I tell you what, for many of the top 12, there are dozens or even hundreds of people in front of me. That is definitely the sign of a good read.

I started with Where the Forest Meets the Stars and adore it so far. What’s on your bedside?

  2. I loved Where the Forest Meets the Stars! The Guncle is my current read (I feel so behind on this one).

  3. The book entry information in this newsletter is wonderful.
    I would add something, perhaps of interest, that I have been doing for quite awhile.
    In a document word processing file, I keep a list of the books that I have read. I list the books by author in alphabetical order. I also enter the date that I started and completed the book. I should have cross referenced the information, and listed the book by book title as well, but I didn’t. Perhaps some snowy day, I will add in that dimension to my postings. It is fun to scan the list of books I have read.

  4. I’ve only read 2 of those: Daisy Jones & the Six, and The Dutch House–both great reads. I will have to keep your list so I can check out the other ten. I love getting books from the library too. I will tell you though that Ollie’s has a lot of books for incredibly low prices, and often they will have very popular books that I am seeing current reviews on. If you are ever near an Ollie’s, take a peek at their book section. My book club often gets our books from Ollie’s b/c it’s so hard for everyone to secure the same book from the library at the same time, and Ollie’s definitely has the best prices.
