January List

 New year, new list of books. Most of this list is new aside from a few that I received as gifts late in the year, are on loan, or partially read. I've randomly ordered them for ease of selection and also to ensure that I give them each a try, however I will reset the numbering each month. A couple of rules for the year:

• I must try to read each book when it's number comes up. However, I don't have to finish them. I can choose not to read the book and get rid of it or I can decide to put it aside for a later time, however, if I do this it goes off the list and doesn't come back in 2025.
• Once I read a book in a series, I'm allowed to jump directly to the next book (and the next and the next) if I wish, and pick up with the numbering once I'm done with the series.
• One out of every 10 books needs to be nonfiction. 
• Every book I read will get a review - even if it's a really, really short lame one.
• I can add to the list mid-month if something comes up, but I'm going to try to avoid this for the most part. 
• I will not get rigid about this system. Part of the point of this is to get books out of the collection that I'm never going to read

Wish me luck.
