New Years Resolutions 2019

Looking for inspiration for the New Year?  Scroll down for a collection of titles that will motivate you to see your resolution through.

But first, here are five bonus resolutions that require personalized recommendations.  Stop by, and a bookseller will help you find a book that fits!

  1. Read a book about a character who is different from you in some way (e.g. race, gender identity, nationality, etc.)
  2. Read a book in a genre you've never read before.
  3. Read a book that will inspire you to take action on an issue that's important to you.
  4. Read a book by a Vermont author whose work you haven't read before.
  5. Read a book about an activity you've never done, or an experience you've never had.
