Lists make me far too happy for it to be healthy. I am sooooooo in. Though I suck at deadlines, so I'm gonna skip setting specific dates for anything. ^_^EDIT: I bit off WAAAAAAAAY more than I could chew with my original list, so I chopped it way down. This new one, I might actually be able to pull off.
EDIT #2: Narrowed down further, because my dumb butt keeps getting new library books which I feel that I need to finish before I can read any of the books I own (though admittedly, the two Nora Roberts ones are from the library too, but still...).

Progress: 20 out of At least 1
July marks the beginning of the second half of the year (holy cow where did the time go). One of my favorite things is to make lists and then mark tasks off when I finish them. For this 6 month challenge, make a list of reading related tasks that you’d like to check off before the end of the year. Maybe you want to finish a few more series. Or you want to get to those books that you’ve been putting off or maybe finally start that series that people keep recommending to you. There are no limits to what you can do, no levels, nothing but making yourself feel good by crossing items off of your list once they're complete.
You can update your list as the year progresses if you want or make one list that you’re going to stick to no matter what. It’s completely up to you. Go crazy. Be vague or be extremely specific, but no matter what, have fun and keep reading!!!

I finished my bucket list...happy reading and happy holidays!!Reading Bucket List
Duration: July 1/15 - December 31/15
July - must read this month
August - is always reread favourites
September - series catch-up
- Cowboy Cafe series
- Smokey Brandon series
- The Tracy Crosswhite Series
- Bad Boys of the Highlands series October - historical fiction
November - series/trilogies I want to start
- Nora Gavin Series
- Knights in Black Leather
- The Ruby Red Trilogy
- The Tudor Trilogy December - Month I Travel - books set in Tuscany
I accomplished 3 out of 7 of my bucket list goals. Better luck next time, I guess.
Yeeeeeeaaaahhhh... Definitely not finishing American Gods or Angels & Demons, so I guess I'm 4 for 6. Two-thirds isn't that bad. I kinda screwed myself over a bit, picking two 400+ page books when I'm so bad at finishing big books (I think they feel intimidating, like when I'm in the beginning it feels like I can never reach the end or something), so technically I did really great considering. There's always next year. ^_^
