Reader’s Resolutions

Every New Year resolutions are made. Some go on diets. Some pledge to save. Some pledge to write those thank you cards in a timely manner.  Me, I resolve to do all of those things, but I usually also resolve to read more and more broadly. Not that I always succeed.

Here are some more general prompts or inspirations that I am going to try this year, to keep me honest:

• I will read a big book (one of those doorstops I have heard are good, but have been avoiding)
• I will read a book in translation
• I will read a book with a bad cover (I will admit it, I judge books by their covers)
• I will read a romance with a steamy cover on the bus
• I will read a book of short stories
• I will read genre fiction (ie. science fiction, fantasy, mystery, westerns, etc.)
• I will read a book a friend told me to read
• I will read a reprint
• I will reread a book I loved
• I will read a nonfiction book
• I will read a local author
