A2: Read a Short Story or Graphic Novel - This one is pretty self-explanatory.

Y2: Read 500 Pages Total: Read 500 total pages or more before the read-a-thon ends.
GO2: Read a Book with an Author Whose First or Last Name Starts with J - Read something by James Patterson, Shirley Jackson, or, if you want to be really ambitious James Joyce. Any author with a first or last J name would count.
A3: Listen to an Audiobook Start and finish an audiobook.

A4: Read a Book Related to a New Year's Resolution You Made - Read a book related to your resolution to lose weight or travel more or save money or be a better you. If you didn't make one, make one now.
T4: Start a Book You've Never Heard Before - Instead of clearing out your massive TBR pile, why not read a book that you just stumbled upon?
Y4: Read a Book That is 1st in a Series - Don't worry about all the series you haven't finished yet, the new year is a great time to pick up a new one! ;)
GO4: Read in a New Location: Find a new place to tuck in and read for a bit.
