I cannot believe it is already 2018. One of my favorite things about starting a new year is making my yearly booklist. I love setting these intentional goals around reading and books. This year I've shaken it up a bit with my book goals. I'm doing a deep dive into specific authors, focusing on a simplicity read each month, and also reading many middle grade and young adult fiction.
