February 2017 Reading Plan

I always love the start of a new month. It's like turning to a fresh page in your notebook - a blank space full of endless possibilities.

In planning my reads this month, I tried to blend my challenge requirements with a few books that fit in with February. I have a love story included for Valentine's Day, and a book by an African American author for Black History Month. I'm also expanding my horizons a bit with a play and a graphic novel in the mix. Here's the plan:

1. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

• Back to the Classics: 20th Century Classic
• Classics Club: #8 on my list
• Popsugar Challenge: A book about an interesting woman
• Mount TBR: previously owned

2. King Lear by William Shakespeare

• Back to the Classics: A classic published before 1800
• Classics Club: #4 on my list
• Popsugar Challenge: A book with a title that's a character's name
• Mount TBR: previously owned

3. Maus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman

• Popsugar Challenge: A book with a cat on the cover
• Mount TBR: previously owned

4. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

• Popsugar Challenge: A book that's been on your TBR list for way too long
• Mount TBR: previously owned

5. Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline Woodson

• Popsugar Challenge: A book by a person of color
• Mount TBR: previously owned

*Bonus*

Mermaids in Paradise by Lydia Millet

• Popsugar Challenge: A book involving a mythical creature
• Mount TBR: previously owned 

I have a lot going on this month with the Disney Princess Half Marathon weekend and all of the requisite training for it, but I'm still hoping to finish everything on this list. As always, reading is my number one priority.
