What are your goals for 2012 with respect to books? How many do you want to read? How many series? How often do you want to read?

My goal is to read at least 15 books. I'm a mother of one with waaay too many hobbies lol. I'd like to read at least two books a month. My current series are: Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter, The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward, The Lords of Deliverance series by Larissa Ione, The Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton. Also I'd like to start the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. Yes, I'm a series lover. I fall in love with an author's style of writing and I usually stick with it. :)

For 2012 I have set a goal of 30 books (20 of which will be for my MFA program). I am now at 5 completed, and currently reading three, which should be finished by the end of the month. So on a good start. I also recommend Elements of Style and Writing for Story for any writer.
