Reading plans for the rest of the year

If there were a way to read multiple books at once, I would be doing it. As there is clearly not, I have to pace myself, which we all know has never been my strong suit. Anyway, I've decided on a reading list through the end of 2016, that also includes some room to read books I grab on a whim at the library or that may show up in reading challenges. So, here we go.

********************************************

September

To finish:

• Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy (This one is obvious...I've been reading it since February.)
• Eve of a Hundred Midnights, by Bill Lascher (WWII China/America nonfiction)
• Symphony for the City of the Dead, by M.T. Anderson (WWII Russian nonfiction)

To read:

• The Life Changing Magic of Tidying-Up, by Marie Kondo (Finally got my hands on it!)
• Lilac Girls, by Martha Hall Kelly (new WWII novel...clearly I'm on a WWII kick)

October

• The Mystery of Edwin Drood, by Charles Dickens
• The Mysteries of Udolpho, by Ann Radcliffe (I have tried and failed to start this for years.)
• The Long Earth, by Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter (a scifi series I've wanted to read)
• The Book of Chameleons, by Jose Eduardo Agualusa (for a Goodreads group read) 

November

• The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas
• The rest of this month is open

December (my Christmas re-reads month)

• A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens
• The Legend of Holly Claus, by Brittany Ryan
• Pride & Prejudice, by Jane Austen
• Redwall, by Brian Jacques (this will probably stretch into 2017 as I re-read the whole series)
• The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien

************************************************

I am telling myself to stick to this list, even though there are books I have from the library right now that are not on it. Doesn't matter, I will read and review those as well. I look forward to December with all my re-reads though. I might even begin Redwall or LotR in November. The cold months are the best time to read those. What are you planning to read for the rest of the year??
