page turner Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Firstly my goals for this year 1. Is to read more books than the previous year - which won't be hard as last year was woeful for me. I'd like to read at least 52. 2. To control my spending habits and only order/buy once every 3 months and to keep in under $100 when I do order. 3. To finish some of the series I have going - or at least read what I have of said series not just buy them all in the hopes that I'll love them all. 4. To NOT buy every book in a series just because it is a series - if I don't like it then I don't have to buy them for series sake. 5. to read at least one classic this year as I've really enjoyed those I have read so far.
