The Book Challenge discussion

My goal for 2015 is to read at least 120 books and at least 50,000 pages (10 per month).

I would also like to knock some books off my TBR at home, using a random number generator I will pick one random book each month to read. If it is a book from a series further than I've gone, I will read the next book in the series. I.E. if the generator gives me a number corresponding with the 8th book in a series and I've only read to book 5 then I will read book 6.

I want to use up some notebooks I've had lying around, so I will be recording at least one favorite quote from each book I read in 2015, I might share a few on here also.

I want to knock more series off of my TBR and I think if I read them in order instead of skipping around I'll be more successful. So if I have all or most of the series on hand I hope to finish it quickly.
