When I think of all the books still left for me to read, I am certain of further happiness. –Jules Renard

 Prologue

I love books but don't take time to read or listen to them as often as I'd like. Not only do I have unread books on my bookshelves (actual and virtual), I also have a running list of books I want to read. I started the list many years ago and it continues to grow longer, never shorter.

That's about to change, though, as I embark on a 12-Month Reading Challenge. Beginning in March 2021 I intend to read at least 12 books over the next 12 months. Reading the books won't be difficult for me; my challenge will be exploring different genres than I usually read.

Will you join me? This is just for fun; no pressure, no judgment and you choose the book you'd like to read for each category. I'll be posting updates of my progress on my Facebook page (JulieBentleyRealtor or whatever). I would love to hear what YOU are reading and get your book recommendations there as well.

I hope to hear from you in March, the first Chapter of our 12-month story.

Since 2012 Julie Bentley has been reading real estate contracts, surveys, title search results, inspection reports, mortgage documents, home listings, disclosures, etc. While that serves her well in her job as a Realtor, she's really looking forward to mixing that up with some pleasure reading in this challenge.
