David's books for 2016, 104 and probably more.

[David]

Although I read over 180 books so far in '15, it exceeded my goal of 104, which is two a week. Unfortunely, I let book reading get in the way of some other things which I need to schedule, so my goal is the same, but surely will read less........maybe.

So the goal is 104, two a week.

Great job on smashing last year's goal! Good luck with your challenge (and balance) this year!

Good luck reading less. I find that I end up sacrificing sleep more often than I should to get my reading in. I should know better by now than to start a new book at 9:30pm...

Any books in particular you are looking forward to reading this year?

David,
I agree. I need to be as adventurous outside of books as I am with my reading and reading goals. Good luck with everything.

I tend to authors with a long list of serials and have quite a few on my reading list, both ebooks and hardbacks. I usually try to add at least one new author each month to my list so that I can qualify a new one to the list, usually requires at least two reads before I kick one out......Now I have so many authors I just skip from author to author, sometimes forgetting what the characters are about.....I guess I really need to finish a few off before I add even more....

I did pick up a couple of old names yesterday that for some reason have never read.....P.D. James and Agatha Christie, how I missed those two is beyond me.

[David]

At 15 at end of Jan.....a bit ahead of my goal of 2 per week,

That's awesome! Keep up your great work.

Fantastic job, David! Any standout recommendations from the first 50?

If one is a Stephen King fan, than Duma Key.

I like Stephen King, but I haven't read too many of his books. Several are on my to-read list, though! I'll take a look at this one.
