So far I have set my goal at 50 books. I think I will do that with ease as I have actually found a pile of books I want to read under 350 pages.
I also want to break my habit of once I start a book I must finish it. It just slows me down as I hate picking up a book I am not enjoying.
To try at least one other fantasy serious other than GRMM
hmmmm I think I will add to this
already made a dent in my pile 3 books down in 2 days.

January 10th and 10 books down

January sees 21 books read, far more than I expected but most where around 350 pages so small books. I will see how I go next month and may revise my goal.
February saw only 8 books down bringing the years total to 29. Bit of illness and lot going on put me well behind. I hope to do better next month
March what can I say, I suck, way to many distractions only 7 books readmaking a total of 36 books for the year
So it is bye bye April with only 6 books read, bringing the years total to 42. I may have to increase my goal
A really good month was May, 12 books down and a total of 54 for the year
June was slow for reading the granny flat build was coming to an end and tradies were everywhere. So only 6 books for the month bringing it to 60 books for the year. I also found a new author that I am loving.
July Has seen 11 books read, A great month, will be slow for August I fear. So I have now read 71 books.
August brings the total to 78 books, 7 books read. I had to raise my goal to 100 books. I am so excited at getting that high
12 books read for September, a good month and a new series of books. So 90 books now read.
Wow October gone with 7 books read. I am pleased with that as I had bearly a week were I could not read. My goal is so close i can taste it

November is study week and exams for my twins at uni. To say I did not have 5 minutes to read around this mad house is being kind. I read only 3 books for the entire month. I am excited tho, as I made the 100 book mark. December may see very little read
