Despite its many other faults, 2016 was a good year for reading challenges- classics, eras, places, Discworld novels, number counts. I totaled 89 books and nearly 30,000 pages.

But I need to be realistic about 2017.

So for the sake of my sanity I’m going to keep things manageable, albeit subject to change should my life figure itself out sooner than expected (and no worries… I’m going to keep going on Discworld too, I just can’t commit to one a month with certainty).

Here are my three reading challenges for 2017 –
