I set my goal too high at 200 books in 2015, anticipating that I would be reading a lot of YA and middle-grade books. That didn't happen and I had a lot of stress at the end of the year trying to meet the goal. So I'm aiming more modestly at 168 books -- 14 per month -- in 2016. I set the page goal at 50,000 to make sure that I don't make my book goal by reading lots of short books.
These are some secondary goals that I'm planning on pursuing.
1. Read at least $10 worth of books from Kindle Unlimited each month (that is ... get my money's worth)
2. Read at least 12 Newbery Award books. (Stretch goal: Complete all Newbery Award books for 2010-2016: 25 books through 2015, up to 5 more with 2016 awards)
3. Probably some kind of a "finish the series" challenge.
