In 2014...
I'm hoping to expand a bit more into other genres and also hit upon at least one must-read-again, near and dear to my heart book.

As odd as it sounds, I don't want to read more than that. I want to learn to slow down and enjoy each book.
I need to read the books that I already own.
But I also want to make the used book bazaars we have in the spring and the fall.

Start Presidential Challenge
my read shelf:
I have no reading goals or challenges, though. I'd like to get to 3 presidential biographies this year. MAYBE even 4. So I guess that's a goal. And stay more up-to-date with the popular stuff that you all are excited about.
Sugar & Spice
-Finish my Washington Bio and read Adams and Jefferson
-Like a lot of people, read the bags and bags of books I already own!
-Finish my HP listen-through (this is my first time through the audiobooks!)
-Re-Read the Chronicles of Narnia series
I'm going to read books on my TBR.
Buy more of the books I enjoy, my collection is small.
Edited to add: Read more books by authors that are new to me.
my read shelf:
Read books I already own.
Read books on my TBR list.
Read what I want. I read a lot of review books this year and I'm kind of over it.
my read shelf:
I also want to read the entire Wheel of Time series in 2014. I've read about 2/3 so far, but I want to start over from the beginning now that the series has concluded.
I need to work on my reviews/blog more. Even if no one reads it, I feel better, more myself having written out my thoughts.

1) Finish books I've already started.
2) Read books I already own, or get rid of them.
3) Don't keep HC of books I didn't love and can't see myself rereading.
4) Be choosier about which books I buy in HC vs. buy on ebooks vs. borrow, due to both a limited amount of space and the need to curtail spending.
-read every day because it is something I truly enjoy.
-tackle the number of books I own but haven't read.
-stay consistent on goodreads and NBC
-read 50 books
