For 2012 I will be counting pages, not books, and have set my goal at 30,000 pages, which is less than 2011. The 10-12 weeks I was unemployed in 2011 may have had too much of an effect on the years reading challenge, so we will see what 2012 brings (having said that I have a new job that sometimes provides me with time to read during the day, so who knows how much I might get through)
