This is a popular approach. Many programmes aimed at achieving this have an Old Testament and a New Testament reading each day. I believe a gospel passage should be read every day. For this purpose, Acts 1.1–14 should be counted as the end of Luke's gospel, giving a total of 90 gospel chapters, requiring about a quarter of a chapter a day to complete them in a year.
With the Old Testament prophetic books, I believe it is good to read them in conjunction with the historical books of 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, to which they are closely connected.
Psalms and the other poetical books can be spread out over the year, possibly alternating between Psalms and other books.
