[CRussel]

The goal this year is similar to last year's, 120 books read (or abandoned). These will be full length books, and will include audio books. Individual short stories will be recorded, but not counted towards that goal, though I do track them. However, if I end up reading several mid-length works (~80 pages or more), I'll combine them to count as a book read.

Secondary goal is to update this list no less often than once a week. I mostly managed that in 2015, but I did fail some times, and it's really easy to lose track or get so far behind that one abandons the attempt. But I've learned a trick or two to help me over the last year, and one that really helps is to update my "Reason for Editing" each time to show the last book(s) purchased and recorded. This helps me keep track even if it's been a few days since the last edit.

Adding a tertiary goal - track the costs of all books bought this year.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Bought  | $ Spent   | # Audible Credits
      168 | $ 560.34  |   35

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

My stretch goal will be to read 160 books, or a bit more than 13/month.
