I'm not going to share all my New Year's resolutions with you, but one thing I really want to do is a 2015 reading list I found on Pinterest.
I had already made a goal to read a book a week (which isn't hard for me to do, but sometimes I just don't), but this list is going to make me branch out a bit on my reading choices.
Here's the list, and the books I've chosen for each category. I'm going to try and only read books I've never read before, I won't use the same book for multiple categories, and you can be sure I'll review each one.
A book with more than 500 pages: Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
A classic romance: Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
A book that became a movie: The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman
