2016 What I'm Reading Wedesday #4

For my ROW80 Wednesday Check-ins, I will be posting my progress on my reading goals.  
This week I am reading The Double Life of Fidel Castro.  I have just started, so I'm not sure what I think of it yet.  The book is written by a personal bodyguard of Fidel Castro.  I am interested to see if Fidel's double life really surprises me or is it is exactly what I expect.  

Anyway, my goal for this year is to read 32 books, so I set my January goal as reading 3 books to give me a good head start.  I have already read 4 books this month.  Yay!!  I am currently attaining my main goal!  I have yet to make progress on any of the series I want to complete or on my TBR list.  Oh well, I am enjoying the reading right now.

2016 Goal: 32 books
Books Read = 4/32
Books from TBR list: 0
Series completed: 0

  1. I really like this idea of going public with your reading. My reading is all over the map, and I haven't made a specific reading goal for the year, let alone the months. I'm keeping a list because one of my goals is to read and review 2 indie writers a month. So far, so good. But I just might borrow your listing strategy and chime in next ROW80! Have a great week.

    1. I love keeping track of what I read. It is interesting to see how much I read each month and the patterns that emerge. I always start out strong in January. Good luck with your reading goal.

  2. I post mine on my Goodreads reading challenge - keeps my list up to date - reading is important for writers s like your idea of posting your reads - I mention mine among what I have done this week on Sunday but don't always mention the titles - must do better - all the best :)

    1. Thank you. I have never joined Goodreads. I don't know if I have the time for another online community, so I track on my blog instead.
