The 2017 Annual Reading Challenge List Thread

[Kokomo Lee]

I don't contribute a lot to MobileRead, but posting my books is a way to keep touch with the community. My goals are similar to the previous year.

2017 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.

To read more books than in 2016 and to track as well.

[PurpleStar]

No challenge after all. I'll just read what I read.

[Hampshire Nanny]

I don't know what goals I will set in 2017 other than to keep recording exactly which books I read. I'll probably select some reasonable numerical target based on my reading for the last couple of years and then select some secondary goals. For the meantime, I'll hold on to this spot.

[Red Falcon]

My goals are:

1.List every book I read\listen to on Goodreads.
2.Read 5 Non-Fiction Books.
3.Read 5 Science Fiction, Horror, or Fantasy books.
4.Read 10 Children's books with a complete series as an added challenge.
5.Read 5 Classics from the 19th Century that are not Holmes, Dickens or Kipling.
6.Read 10 books other people recommend, can be combined with other goals and the recommendation does not have to have been made in 2017.
7.Read 5 Non-English language books in English. Mysteries do not count.
8.Read 5 mysteries.
9.Listen to at least 3 of the Great Courses Lecture series I have.
10.Read 10 Volumes of Comic Books
