Hi there and welcome to the eat pray {read} love reading plan for 2017. I’m so excited to go on this adventure with you and read lots of good books this year! If you don’t yet have the printables for our categories of books, sign up here and I’ll e-mail it to you! Here’s the first page:
Choose a month and get started- January doesn’t have to be month one! Go for month ten if you’d like!
(Note: I only have suggestions up through month two. I had grand plans of getting it all done by now but, well, 5 kids! And stomach viruses! And strep! And Christmas fun! And……! But, I’ll keep updating as I can.)
