Do you make resolutions?
If you do how well are you at keeping them?

What's the next MUST Read on your 2015 wish list?

Ruth | 206 comments I DO make reading resolutions. They boil down to a book a week - at least 50/year. This is a tough challenge for me, but I made it in 2014 (just!). I track it with the Goodreads annual challenge feature.

This year, I am additionally committing to at least two Margaret Atwood books and two "dusty" books.

Ruth Congratulations for making your challenge in 14 and I hope you do again.

Me it's more like 4-5 books/week depending on the page number

Ruth | 206 comments Yeah, I don't think I could ever read even two books a day, even without kids. I like TV and movies too much. :)

Ang from OZ | 1690 comments I don't really make new years resolutions. Because I used to always set impossible goals for myself then feel disappointed because I'd fail. So simple resolutions to be happy and healthy are about it.

Looking forward to Anne Bishops "Vision in Silver" this year. 3rd book in her "The Others" series.

my reading resolution this year is to learn to say no to both my editors from the publications I review for so I can read more for me!
Now let's see how that works because I have a problem with no :)

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Kamas Kirian (kamas716) | 928 comments Once again I'm hoping to make it to 50 books this year. Only made it to 44 last year.

44 books is a good number Kamas! Congratulations for almost reaching your goal! And Happy New Year!

Karen Laird (shadetreebookreviews) | 228 comments I have never really kept a true count on my book numbers. Lol...I just counted the number of new bookcases every year. But now I look at the number of new books in my Nook, Kindle and on the other two readers on my laptop...and have to have a spreadsheet to keep up with what comes next and make sure I have written the next paper due.... It was easier to count bookcases. ;P
