2025 Reading Challenge discussion

Each January my personal reading goal is "more than last year". Well 2013 was a bit pathetic (only 19 books). So, I would have been happy with reading 25 books this year. Then something amazing happened. I stopped purchasing books and started going to the library. Wow, what a difference a due date makes. Now my goal for 2014 is 100 books. We will see what happens.
