Let's Talk About Julie Garwood discussion

I am planning on several challenges this year. I don't know how well I'll do. But we'll see.

I plan on participating in the 2016 Ultimate Challenge. (Maybe I'll have better luck doing 40 books than 52.)

I also plan on reading 75,000 pages this year as well as total book count of 225 books.

I also want to read at least 30 classics (over 50 years old) and 30 books found on the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die list.

I have put down a goal of 25 books for the GCAC-2016 challenge, since I think I can better my achievement of only 14 last year.

I also have a goal of reading at least 12 NEW RELEASES this year. It seems every year I haven't read hardly any of the nominees for the Goodreads Choice Awards.

In addition to the standard A-Z Challenge and Color Challenge, I will also do a US States Challenge and a UN Member States (I made that one up) Challenge.

Good luck Kirsten
It looks impressive.

My goals/challenges are simpler

There are a few challenges on Instagram than I'm planning to do.

Also I think I'm finally going to read Harry Potter

I also want to read more new books as I found that last year I hardly read anything new.

And I will try to achieve my goal of 50 books, which I failed to do last year- due to new baby and moving house.

Awesome!

I don't have a lot of goals except to read.

I do need to make a better effort at reading some of the "older" books on my TBR list. I read a lot more from my kindle but I still have gobs of paperbacks that need to be read. So I will make my goal to read at least 24 paperback books that I already have this year.

Whoa, Kirsten. Lots of books there.

I'm thinking of joining a local "in-person" bookclub. First book up is . Didn't think it would appeal to me, but I might read it, since the group is.

Next month is , which I do want to read.

Since I'm all move in now (I'm ignoring those boxes in the garage and the guest room right now), I put my goal back up to 200.

As usually, I'm going to try and listen to two audio books I own before buying any others...alas, I know I won't hold to this. Clicking more into my on-line cart is just too, too easy.

Doing an A-Z Series Challenge and an alliteration challenge, which I enjoy every year.

I read GIRL ON THE TRAIN. It's a nice easy read. It seems to, though, inspire love and loathing. I really enjoyed it. But I now a lot of people that hated it.

I want to read BOYS IN THE BOAT too.

That sounds great, Lisa Kay! Hope you enjoy the books and the club!

Yeah, I can see that, Kirsten. is not my usual fair. The characters aren't very likable, but the mystery is pretty good.

We'll see if I make it out the door on the 12th. LOL! I tend to be a bit of a hermit at times.

That's a good idea. I might make my own personal challenge to read more of my paper books.

It is a good goal. Then I can decide if they're "keepers" or ones to give away. I have way, way to many paperbacks.
