Danielle M's Reading Journey 2016

[Danielle]

Hello, everyone!

My goals for 2016 are pretty simple.

1. Read at least 50 books.
2. Finish at least 5 series/trilogies
3. Read at least 5 classics
4. Reduce my TBR to below 100 physical books
5. Write more in-depth reviews

I am also planning to participate in several mini-challenges and readathons and will update progress here.

To whoever stumbles upon my challenge thread, happy reading! I hope you are doing well on your reading goals.

I have been on Goodreads for a year and I did not know that rule either. Is it posted somewhere? I set up the Squirrels are Wild Thread and also my personal thread. I was given permission to set up my personal thread. Nobody said anything to me, there is also instructions on how to set up threads in Goodreads help.

Btw oops wrong group. Forgot this is the 2016 challenge group and not rfp so never mind. We have the mods set up the threads rule there that i moderate so please forget everything i have posted. Sorry about that.

She mistook this group for another group, so it is not a rule for this group to go through the moderators to set up a personal challenge thread.
