More Books!
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.

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

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.
