The goal this year is similar to last year's, 120 books read (or abandoned). These will be full length books, and may include audio books. Short stories will be recorded, but not counted towards that goal, though I think this year I'll have a second list on the page for them so I can more easily keep track.
Secondary goal is to update this list no less often than once a week. I mostly managed that in 2014, but I did fail some times, and it's really easy to lose track or get so far behind that one abandons the attempt.
Adding a tertiary goal - track the costs of all books bought this year.
