It is still a good time to make (and keep) a resolution.
A twitter discussion recently about strategies for reading through the scriptures, routines involved when reading, and particular structures to reading, led me back to an approach I promoted 8 years ago.
My own focus is through the Daily Eucharistic Readings (also available through the Online Chapel on this site).
There is a three-year approach which links to the Christian Sunday three-year lectionary and also to the Jewish Sabbath reading. The daily reading is online here (for some of us, early after the dateline, it is a day behind).
The physical book is here:
The Bible Through the Seasons: A Three-Year Journey with the Bible by Nicholas Connolly.

How do Anglicans read the bible? I look forward to exploring along the lines of Countryman: “Literately rather than literally”.
I so like that line (from Rob Bell?), thanks, George. Blessings.
