Goal: Keep Reading!

I don't contribute a lot to MobileRead, but posting my books is a way to keep touch with the community. This is going to be a challenging year, but I will put up the same goals as last year.

2018 Goals:
Read at least 7 books per month
Include 1 new (to me) author per month
Remember to read previously-purchased books
Remember to post them on Mobileread (I continue to work on this one...)

Book Rating/Comments (I'm a harsh critic: most books end up in the 3 range, and a score of 5 is a rare rating...)
1: Awful, or did not finish
2: Not great, or not to my taste
3: Average
4: Good. Would read again.
5: Great! A prominent place in my library.
