My goal this year is to keep reading! I'd like to read a minimum of one book a week. I've decided not to add any additional challenges . *Yeah, I know, I've said that before.

I will be updating my progress on my post in the The 2014 Annual Reading Challenge List Thread!.

My list and reviews will also be on my 2014 shelf on GoodReads.





As of January 1st 2014, My main challenges are as follows:

Goal: 52 books this year. 1 book a week.
Goal: The Flights of Fantasy* Series Challenge (This is an annual, self paced, self scored challenge where you earn points for catching up on or finishing whole series)
~Series Challenge Goal: One Series Book Every Month

I am also participating in the first Flights of Fantasy* monthly challenge. These are task oriented challenges where you select the goal that you want to reach (IE: the number of books you'd like to read this month), and complete specific tasks in order to reach that goal.
January's = Resolution Challenge.

*Flights of Fantasy is an open Speculative Fiction (Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, etc.) themed book club at GoodReads.
So here's what I've finally gotten myself into! I'm still reading my first book of the year The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which I really should have finished yesterday.

You'll never make up that time. You've failed your challenge already.

You're doomed.

....ooooomed.
....oooomed.

DOOMED!!



Man. It seems this idea has been done before, without me knowing.

That's what I like to see - encouragement!

I'm pretty hopeless too as I am only about 50 pages into my first book of the year. While we have some cooler weather I am getting some weeding and pruning done. There's a garden out there somewhere beneath it all.

I had read like a demon and finished two very short books. It will balance out in the end, but it's nice to be onto country number three already. I might escape North America by the end of the month.

Excellent! Congratulations to both of you!

Yay! Yes, Weber rarely states in one sentence what he can state in five!
In all seriousness, though, I do hope you enjoy the book and the series.

Oh no Nyssa, doomed indeed! How can you possibly not have finished a book yet, it's been 3 days already!

I'm at 76% of War & Peace, slowly but steadily getting there!

I should finished my 2nd book of the year tonight though (Allegiant by Veronica Roth). I guess things will slow down a lot when I open my shop again on Monday though.

Three days in, three books down--but I'm already struggling with my resolve to spend a lot less on reading this year (new overall severe budget constraints, not just in this area, so there's nowhere to shift additional funds from). I'm a series reader by nature, with plenty of "first in a series" books in my TBR pile to choose from, but then it's tough not to be able to just buy the next book in the set!

Grumble grumble grumble...

Off to contemplate my TBRs and see if anything looks particularly interesting. Maybe a long epic fantasy won't make me feel so deprived. LOL
