Monica read 16 books last year. This year, she read twice the number of books she read last year. Next year, she wants to read 5 more than twice the number of books she read this year. How many books will Monica read next year?
The number of books that Monica read this year is 2 * 16 = <<2*16=32>>32 books.
Twice the number of books that Monica read this year is 2 * 32 = <<2*32=64>>64 books.
The number of books that Monica will read next year is 64 + 5 = <<64+5=69>>69 books.
