2012 Book Challenge #1

2012 Book Challenge
Challenge yourself to read [x] amount of books or pages!
This amount can change throughout the year if necessary.
Or you can simply keep track of the books you read, and formulate a goal later on.

No challenge is too small
For other goals (such as specific titles or series, genre, or author) please visit this thread: http://www.fanforum.com/f28/2012-rea...oals-63034891/

Have fun!

My goal:
30 books in English, 10,000 pages.
25 fiction, 5 non-fction.


# Finish first three books of ASOIAF.
# Try out genres I've never tried before, like urban fantasy.
# Read something everyday.

Thought I'd finish Divergent this year. Looks like it'll have to wait until next year to be done. I'm such a slow reader and I'm so easily distracted by other wonderful things like TV shows and

I'm sticking with the same goals I had last year even though I met them, since I'll probably have less time now that I'm in school all year. So: 60 books, 20,000 pages.
