My Reading List
READING LIST: I started a goal of reading 150 books a year back in 2017. Here is a list of the books I have read each year.
CODES: I use several codes to help track my books:
● Date: The date indicates the date I finished reading each book.
● Reading block: I have three reading blocks each day. A ‘1’ in front of a book indicates a book read in the morning. A ‘2’ in front of a book indicates a book read in the afternoon. A ‘3’ in front of a book indicates a book read in the evening.
● Ebook or physical: An ‘e’ in front of a book indicates an ebook. A ‘b’ in front of a book indicates a physical book.
● Source: I own most of the books I read, but I also use Kindle Unlimited and borrow Kindle books from the local library. (KU) indicates a Kindle unlimited book. (KL) indicates a Kindle book borrowed from the library.
● Favorites: I mark my favorite books with an asterisk before the date.
