Is it that time of year?

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

One of my friends commented she was planning her 2012 reads. I don't plan that far in advance, but I do plan.

Do you plan ahead? How do you go about it?

[Tera, First Chick]

I plan to go to the library after that it's all up to the fates.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I kind of plan ahead. I know what my next three boks are going to be.

[Terri]

I have no plans--I just pick something off my huge pile of TBR's, depending on my current mood.

[Mary]

I do what Terri does.

[Sheila , Supporting Chick]

I always try to read as many of the groups reads here as I can (regular, classics, chunkies), but there is really no planning for those.

For 2012 I would like to make a dent in my real (paper) book shelf. I bought several new releases this year that I really want to get to, plus have bookshelves full of years accumulation, so hope to read a bunch of those.

I also pulled a huge leather copy of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare off my shelf recently (been there for years) and have it sitting next to my reading chair. I would love to tackle a bunch of the stories in that for 2012. Would be thrilled if I read them all, but doubt I will make it through the whole thing, but would love to get at least some read.

I don't plan to read WHICH books. I plan HOW MANY books will be my target.

This year, I started with a goal of 25. I just increased that number whenever I reach it. Now, I'm pushing 80.
