Book Reading Challenge for 2014 discussion

Set your monthly/weekly goal for the month of February, and list what books you want to read, are reading, or have read for the week/month.

My goal is 2 - 3 books per week, a total of 8 - 12 books for the month (to make up for last months lack of 3 books):


Feb
1. The Princess Bride by William Goldman -- To Read
2. The Foundation Trilogy - Book 1 by Issac Asimov -- To Read
3. The Foundation Trilogy - Book 2 by Issac Asimov -- To Read
4. The Foundation Trilogy - Book 3 by Issac Asimov -- To Read
5. The Raging One by Lexy Wolfe -- To Read
6. The Knowing One by Lexy Wolfe -- To Read
7. Grave Peril by Jim Butcher -- To Read
8. Summer Knight by Jim Butcher -- To Read
9. Death Masks by Jim Butcher -- To Read
10. Blood Rites by Jim Butcher -- To Read
11. Dead Beat by Jim Butcher -- To Read

February should be better.

Goal: Finish 5 books

1. Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind - Currently reading
2. The Kingdom and the Crown by S. R. Ford - Currently reading
3. The World of Robert Bateman by Robert Bateman- Currently reading
4. 2061: Odyssey Three by Arthur C. Clarke - To read
5. Robert Bateman: An Artist in Nature by Robert Bateman - To read

I usually have 2 or 3 books going at once, a paper novel, an ebook (for short train trips), and one non-fiction at home.

February reading goals:

1. Stop re-reading with my own book. It's published. I must stop fussing.
2. Two non-fiction books, to be chosen from the new books shelves at the library from whatever looks interesting. I try to read one NF a month, but I was lazy and sick in January.
3. Three science-fiction books with super-powered protagonists. (suggestions welcomed.)
4. No more than two steampunk novels. I'll probably go with the Glamourist Histories by Mary Robinette Kowal
