The Official "Trevor Writes" Reading Challenge 2018

As I mentioned in my post last July, here is the first official "Trevor Writes" reading challenge that will span the entire year! I haven't managed a personal book reading list before last year - I've always just saw a book at a bookstore that caught my eye, a description of a book online that was enticing enough to place an order, or received recommendations from friends which almost always resulted in my purchasing that book a day or so afterwards. Books just sort of appeared on my shelf after they were read, which usually resulted in my scanning the collection later in the year, asking myself "Whoa, did I really read all of this?"

No more guesswork! Last year I read seventeen of twenty books, but this year the goalpost is being set much higher - after all, we are only in January. Therefore, I have increased by goal by ten - I aim to complete 30 books by the end of this year. For the most part, the list will consist of fiction, though some nonfiction is thrown in as well. Just like my previous challenge, I will be providing links to all books listed if you find the titles of any of them interesting enough to learn more (Amazon links).

What will you be reading this year? Organize your own book list and take the challenge as well! Happy Reading!
