I took on the challenge of reading a book each week for a year after seeing this article. I started in March 2014 and will post to this page monthly to keep myself accountable. Have a book suggestion? Great! Leave it here--I may have a VERY long "To Read" list, but a book lover never turns down a good recommendation! To read more about the books that have influenced me from a young age, go here. 

Also, this is my "ideal" schedule. Full disclosure: I'm a little behind. But I like my schedule to be up to hold me accountable and to show what I'm trying to accomplish.

{A couple of updates on my journey are HERE, HERE and HERE.}

The recap of my year, along with some book recommendations, is here.
