Renata's Corner

[Renáta]

The goal for this year is to read at least 60 books.

I have three objectives for now:
a) shorten my TBR-list, before it reaches a thousand. For this, I'll have to read a lot more stand-alone novels.
b) get more variety in publishing years. The 'Every Year Challenge' will be perfect for this, but hopefully I'll get to older classics as well.
c) read from authors I should have read years ago. (For example; Robin Hobb, Patrick Rothfuss, Markus Zusak, etc...)

This thread will be used as a summary of monthly/quarterly reading and challenges. In the personal challenge thread I will post thoughts on individual books and statistics (such as female/male author, series/standalone, etc...)
