The Bible is not structured like a novel, so trying to read it in a spiritually meaningful way can be daunting, especially for newcomers.
One approach is to read the whole thing over the course of a year, a process that, somewhat surprisingly, only requires about 10-15 minutes per day. But to get the most out of that process, it's helpful to have a daily reading plan. Some Bibles, such as this one, are specifically designed for daily reading.
But you don't need to purchase a specially-designed daily Bible. All you need is a reading plan! The popular One Year Bible website offers two different options: (1) a daily plan (pdf link) which blends passages from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs; and (2) a chronological plan (pdf link), in which the daily readings are arranged in the (approximate) chronological order in which they occurred.
The website offers options for online reading, or you can print those pdf files, tuck them in your Bible, and use them as guidance. (And, of course, there's no reason to wait for January 1 to begin!)
Whatever route you take, an organized voyage through the Bible can be spiritually fulfilling!
