Book Challenge 2013

[Candice89102]

I'm also aiming for 30 books this year. That was my goal last year and it was definitely reasonable. Good luck everyone!

I kind of lost the habit of reading for pleasure ever since I finished university (too much "forced" reading!), but it's something I need to get back into. Especially since I seem to keep buying books.

I'm aiming for 20.

Let me know what you think of Gone Girl!
I just saw that Mint Condish recommended it in the book review thread and I've been feeling more and more inclined to read it.

(I hope it´s ok to post this)
A p2p link to download 100 ebooks in pdf or epub format. Lots of classics, from different genres
There are lots of classic english literature that I´ve never read, so that´s my goal... also read more argentine classics that I read in highschool but hardly remember.

My goal this year will be to FINISH at least 20 books. I only finished like two last year, but I started at least 25 and purchased over 200. Dog gone it I'm gonna finish 20 books this year if it's the last thing I do!!

 

[kokobombon]

My goal is to read at least 12, one per month. Between the movie challenge and all the tv shows I watch, I think that´s a reasonable amount I can accomplished... as opposed to the 5 I read last year :/

Just the year I finally decided to take part in the 50 books challenge it's gone! I like the change though, I think it's a great idea to have a thread where people can set their own challenge.
I'll try to read 30 books in 2013. I'm about to start La vérité sur l'affaire Harry Quebert by Joël Dicker.

i think i should jump on this wagon, i haven't read any single book this year... but i can start now

 

[Niusity]

Let's begin, God bless me and my books

1. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - I've left a very very brief review in review thread. I thought it would be different, what a finale.

Curently reading:
The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

I decided to have a different challenge this year. Besides regular reads, once a month I'll be randomly (withe the help of random.org) choosing a book from my to read list and read it. I just feel like a need something new and besides that, my TBR list is HUGE and I never get to the point when I actually start reading books from there.
