Not sure how my reading will go.I'm doing ok with reading my Amish books since I've started my new job in September.
But pinching pennies soon to even buy 2012 books. Guess I'll be going to the library to get my books.
not sure, would like to try some new Amish authors . I would like to read a couple of Karen Kingsbury,series.
i am planning on reading alot of books in 2012 but don't know which books yet

I upped my 2011 goal from 100 to 125 to 130 and I'm currently on 126. I'm in the middle of reading several books so I'm definitely going to hit 130 so I think I'll aim for 130 again next year. I don't want to aim higher but I'll stick with what I know I can manage. When I graduate from university in 2013 I know that my reading pace will change but for now it'll probably stay the same.
I'm going to try 50 which was my original goal for 2011 but I changed it in September.
My goal was 31 and I went over. It try to add on 5 more ech year since I am close to 50 thanks my plan. I am new to Amish fiction so I am looking forward to reading alot more this year.
So far this year, I met my Goodreads challenge of 50, and have added 3 to that! I'm going to strive for 50 again next year, but I know it will be hard b/c it is my last 2 semesters of school to get my RN/BSN. Maybe I can count NCLEX books! ;)
I too changed my goal this year a few times and in the end I'm over my goal. This was my first year making a goal and my first year joining Goodreads; glad a friend told me about this site.
Still unsure of my goal for 2012.
I am going to strive for 75. I did more than that this year but things have changed in my life so I don't think I am going to be able to read as much, I am also going to branch out and do some monthly challenges - reading a book by the first letter of the month, charcters with my fist name, etc. So many options so little time! Good luck to all.
Ok so I have kind of a possibly silly question. But, for 2011 I've been using the GoodReads 2011 book challenge widget thing to track the number of books I have read. Is there one where we can set our goal for 2012? Because I can't for the life of me find it...Am I crazy? Or does it just not exist?

Maybe it will show up after the 1st?
Camille I am also interested to know if there is going to be a 2012 reading challenge widget. It is a great way to keep track of how well you are doing in the reading challenge.My reading goal for 2011 was 125 and I completed the challenge. I am setting myself a goal of reading 125 books again in 2012.
Just checked and it's showing up now! Scroll down on the home page and it should be somewhere on the right hand sidebar :)
I have a long bus commute this year due to a job change so that's brought me even more time to read. I'll set my goal for 150 books which is about what I did this year. and I definitely want to stay current with Amish fiction and catch up on the ones I haven't read from previous years since I'm fairly new to the genrre.
Oh, on the topic of 2012, I wanted to say happy 2012 to everyone! I hope we all have a blessed year!How did you all spend your evening ringing in the New Year? I went to my best friend's apartment in L.A. and we spent the evening on our pajamas catching up, and watched the ball drop. We also planned a fun trip on Leap Year's Day! We're going to attend Disneyland's 24 hour celebration! So excited!
My goal for 2012 is to read 50 books... I'm not sure if that's too daring or too safe!

I'm fourteen away from meeting my goal. GoodReads tells me that I'm four books ahead, but it still seems like a lot to read before the end of the year! I'm partway through four or five books, and I have two whole weeks after exams before the end of the year, so I might still make it!
