To finish 12 books and become an 'Avid Reader'
Because the big publishing houses refer to someone who buys 12 books a year as an "avid reader," my goal will be to finish 12 books.
***** Throughout last year, I purchased many Kindle books because they were free or very inexpensive. I now find that many of them should not be considered books, but rather very lengthy magazine articles.

To read 30+ books
Since I mainly listen to audiobooks, most of these will likely be heard instead of read, but I guess that still counts:
Minimum for 2015: 30 books. Series: • The Hunger Games trilogy (Now that I've seen the first 3 movies, might as well get it over with). • The first five books of A Song of Ice and Fire. • Start an epic scifi series of at least 3 books. Other: • 15 audiobooks under 10 hours or books under 300 pages (I am just finishing up on book 14 of The Wheel of Time. Time for something light! :P). • 1 random book with animal protagonists (I quite liked Quest for the Faradawn). • At least 5 classics - May be combined with the above. So far: • Lewis Carroll - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland #1 4/5 • Mark Twain - Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 3/5 Last edited by David Munch; 01-12-2015 at 05:48 AM. |

To read 40 books split among various categories
I've gone way overboard in the past with my challenges, so this year it's a lot of little things adding up to not much. 2016 might be another weird challenge.
40 books falling within the following sub-challenges. MobileRead Bookclub Participation [12/8] I have ignored the book clubs for a while now. Just too busy with too many other challenges in reading. It's time to start participating again. These books can be literary or regular. Spoiler:
Read more Canadian [13/6] Because I am inept at reading from my own country. Six books should get the CRTC off my back a bit. Spoiler:
Read a Few More Countries [7/6] There's still a lot of the world left to read and I really liked that challenge so we'll continue it with an unread country every couple of months. Spoiler:
Read Books in Purchased Pile [5/5] I don't have a lot of books in my purchased pile. I believe there's about ten on the Kindle and about ten paper books, but there's a few that have been sitting there and should be read. These books must have been purchased prior to mid-2014. Spoiler:
Second Chance Authors [6/5] Read some authors that I have only read one title by that I should read more by. Or that I didn't really enjoy the first book and I think it might have just been the book selection. Spoiler:
Miscellaneous [29/10] Spoiler:
Keep Spending below $50 for the Year [$0.00 / $50.00] That's right, $50 for the entire year. Canadian funds which aren't worth anything with respect to the United States and I expect Amazon prices to go through the roof for me. I can't buy much for that and I'll have to be careful. Spoiler:

Goal 120 books, including audio books. Stretch Goal - 160 books
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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Code:
# Bought | $ Spent | # Audible Credits 157 | $476.31 | 31 My stretch goal will be to read 160 books, or 14/month.

I think I'll try to read 52 books, with at least 26 of them, marked with an *, books I already owned at the start of 2015. I tend to read the new books, and never quite get to the old ones.
