The last two years I had a plan at the start of the year. Read more Catholic Books. It started in 2016 with A Year Of Reading Intention – Catholic Reading, and then it continued on 2017 with Catholic Reading List 2017. In 2016 I started with 32 books on this list. But the list kept growing both from recommendations from others and from the books being read. Including a few Catholic fiction books I managed to read 73 Catholic books over the year, and review most of them. So continuing the new tradition in 2017 I started with 51 books on my list and ended up with well over 175 Catholic books read and over 130 reviewed. So this year in 2018 There will be a number of carry over reviews and books to be read This is my starting point!

In 2018 I am starting with 70 non-fiction and 3 Fiction on the list. Of those about 20 have already been read and are just awaiting reviews. But I know the list will grow. And this year I am really going to try and clear up the whole starting list. But for each book i read I usually fine at least 2 more I want to read.
Last year I also had the goal of reading the Catechism in a year, not only did I make it through the Catechism, I also read The Compendium, DOCAT, and YOUCAT. So this year I will start with the Catechism again and see where it goes from there.
On a side note I was asked to come up with a Top 10 Catholic Books List, it was not an easy task. It actually took a couple of weeks for me to narrow down the list. And I will continue to post a Top Ten Fiction and Top Ten Non-Fiction each Quarter.
