March 2017 Reading Plan

February ended up being a very successful reading month for me, but I suspect my reading in March will go at a slower pace. I have two thick classics to tackle this month with Germinal and Catch-22 on my list. To account for these, I rounded out the rest of my list with some young adult books I've been meaning to get around to (mostly so I can stick them in my classroom library afterwards). Here's my plan:


1. Germinal by Émile Zola

• Back to the Classics: A classic in translation
• Classics Club: #32 on my list
• Popsugar Challenge: A book by an author from a country you have never visited
• Mount TBR: previously owned

2. Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

• Back to the Classics: A classic with a number in the title
• Classics Club: #6 on my list
• Popsugar Challenge: A novel set during wartime 
• Mount TBR: previously owned

3. Letters from the Looney Bin by Thatcher C. Nalley

• Popsugar Challenge: A book of letters
• Mount TBR: previously owned

4. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

• Popsugar Challenge: The first book in a series you haven't read before
• Mount TBR: previously owned

5. Hollow City by Ransom Riggs

• Popsugar Challenge: A book with pictures
• Mount TBR: previously owned

*Bonus*

Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs

• Mount TBR: previously owned 

I've been making excellent progress on my reading challenges, but I have some monster books coming up in the future (including War and Peace). I'm hoping that all the progress I'm making early in the year will help make up for the time I will spend on the bricks later. We shall see.
