One of the best things about this reading project is that I'm connecting with people I'd never thought of as readers over books. I've had several long conversations with them over books in which I'm getting more titles to check out. In fact, my backlog is getting large enough that some monthly themes seem to be in order.
February - month of series lit. I'm in the middle of an unusual number of series. More on that later, but without even trying February's list is already up over 40 books.
March - month of the recommended, suggested, and gifts. I want to keep those reader conversations going, and it seems like the best way is to read the books people recommend me. So I'm going to start sifting through my stacks for those books. If you have any suggestions, by all means comment them.
April and on I don't have any solid ideas for. I think at least one month in there will need to be "other list leftovers" and, of course, I'm going to try to keep 4 or 5 professional development books on each list to satisfy my sub goal. I'm thinking about specializing in short stories and collections of short stories one month and maybe poetry another. Another thought might be "classics I never got around to reading" and yet another might be "books from other people's lists." There's a lot of options.
That's the glorious thing about reading, there's always more to discover.
