I am so far behind on my reviews and updates to my books. In 2014 I read 238 books, but that includes some knitting books that don't have a lot of text. I've started putting them on my lists this year so I upped my goal from 220 to 230.
What to do for next year? I definitely hope to get to Les Miserables. I got the book from Audible and I think I am going to set a scheduled amount to read per week. I'd also like to get a reading buddy for this book. I always get blogged down in the endless Napoleonic battles. I am just not a military history buff.
I want to finish my Hitler books : The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Hitler, Adolf Hitler, Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil. I'm sure I still won't be able to understand why Hitler did the horrible things he did, but maybe I can make some sense of it.
I also want to finish I am Malala, Saturday is for Funerals, and any more books I can find that will help me understand the world's trouble spots.
Addie and I are going to do a unit on Judaism from Biblical days to the modern era. We'll be reading Torah, The Merchant of Venice, The Jew of Malta to explore the way Jews have been portrayed through the ages, Surviving Hitler, The Diary of a Young Girl, Exodus and any others I can find to provide her with the background she needs to understand the Middle East problems.
I want to read at least 75 books that are on my "To Read" list on Jan 1, 2015. I am so bad about getting new books that sound great or recommended by friends and my list just keeps getting longer and longer. I also intend to clear all the books on my "Currently Reading." I have a number of books that have had to go back to the library before I was finished with them.
