I originally set my goal at 12 - one per month seemed reasonable. I have only recently (aka last month, I was just a vacation reader) decided to start reading again. I upped it 15 and then 20 when I realized I could "do better". As of today, I'm 3 books down so far in the month of January so I may have to up my goal once again. ;)

That’s awesome!! I feel like once you start reading and finishing books, you just want to pick up a new one and continue. Sounds like you’re well on your way to 20 Books. What books have you read so far?

Will you be listing your reads here (and how you liked them)?
Progress is a great motivation! Sara I wish you the best of luck with whatever goal you set! I will be back to see how you are doing.

I just upped to 35 a few minutes ago and now decided to go for 50. Not sure if this will be more difficult in the summer months but I we will find out! ;)

I love the little challenges in the groups I've joined because it's now like a game and I have to prove myself! ;) I have to admit, I'm stuck on chick-lit books at the moment but we will see if I can break out of that genre here and there. ;)

For me it is a real help to read books I probably wouldn't have otherwise (but end up enjoying).

Wow, cool!
For me often it is easier to read more in summer: love to hang back in a relaxing chair of lying on picknick plaid, with some nice snacks and maybe a glass of rose and read read read lol (also I plan 2 weeks off to mainly read).

You're welcome Sara! Although I must admit I suggested it for selfish reasons: I love to see what books people are reading and how they rate them (cause my TBR list isn't long enough lol)
Congratulations on finishing your first nine books keep up the great work and of course happy reading!
Hoping March is a fantastic month for you 17 books is great!!!!
“Reading brings us unknown friends” While the warm weather is coming I hope you make some new friends in May!
“I have always imagined paradise will be a kind of library.” I hope you find a corner in Paradise with some great books!!
