I have a long list of books on my shelves that I’ve never read. By making myself a specific list of books to read for the next three months, hopefully I will be able to get through them.
Here’s what I want to read by the end of the year:
- Deck the Halls by Nicholas Sparks
- Eight Tales of Terror by Edgar Allen Poe October 18
- Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes November 7
- My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult September 26
