These Violent Delights (Robin) What is your reading goal for 2013? Do you have the books planned yet? If so, can you name a few?

My goal is 300 (but that's probably not going to happen)

Grave Mercy
Rift
Tiger's Dream
Afterglow etc

Lady Poppy | 152 comments Oh my gosh 300 is a lot. My goal is 100 books. That is approximately 2 books per week which I can probably manage. I will try to read my entire to-read list (only 71 books thus far), that would make me happy :)

My mom wants me to save my money for college but she only says that then buys me more books, haha. My mom likes the fact that I read and don't do drugs, drink, get tattoos, steal, do dirty stuff, or smoke etc. so she will buy books on account of that too.

Alley Kat (alleykat666) Well, I'm struggling to meet my 200 goal this year, but I want to do 250 or 300 next year.

Well it's not like the end of the world if you don't reach your reading goal for the year. I always set my reading goal high so then I can try my hardest to meet it.

Yeah. I'm still determine to reach it, even though that means reading more than a book a day for the rest of the year.

I'm jealous! If I write book reviews for my school newspaper, I could get free books from a local bookstore. I would probably do it anonymously. I'm also not great at writing reviews.

Mehaboobmunna (-m13) I'll fix it to 13!!!

Not sure if i can make it happen!!!

Gia MarajaLove (mermaraj) My goal is 250 books. Realistically, my reading speed record is 400-something pages in two days. I'm also fiercely competitive and determined, so I won't lie and say that I don't believe I'll reach my goal. :)

I'm currently reading Of Poseidon by Anna Banks. There are many, MANY books on my to-read list, but I'll spare you the incredibly long comment and only list the few I'm looking forward to reading the most.

1) The Statistical Probability of Love At First Sight
2) In Hope
3) Unhinged (Splintered) Okay, this doesn't come out until 2014, but it's like, the third book on my want-to-read list!

Natasha (Natashaaarose) | 10 comments My goal is 150-200 but I don't know if I will get that done this year.

I really credit the people who can read more than that. Going to try and make more time to fit in all these books. :)
