My Two Year Bible Reading Plan (post and plan in progress)

I designed this plan so that I can read the Bible as follows:

1) Each Gospel 4 times in a year.
2) The rest of the New Testament twice in a year.
3) The books of Psalms once each month.
4) The books of Proverbs once each month.
5) The rest of the Old Testament once in a two year period.

It is a work in progress, and I will post the February's readings by January 31.

The books of the Old Testament are as follows:

Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy

Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I Samuel, II Samuel, I Kings, II Kings, I Chronicles, II Chronicles (includes the Prayer of Manasseh), I Ezra (there is some confusion about the books names Ezra/Esdras, which I won't go into here), II Ezra (this is the book of Ezra in Protestant Bibles), IV Ezra (also called II Esdras), Nehemiah, Tobit, Judith, Esther (the full version, following the chapter and verse divisions beginning here),
