@Tears: that is an excellent goal. Alas I have hundreds that I own that I have not read but at least the majority are non-fiction.

I will add you to the list :)

Glad you joined us Kitarun! That is a pretty good challenge.

Can y'all do me a favor with this? If you see me spending too much time online, tell me to go read?

KItarun: YOU GOT IT!
Please do the same for me!

Will do! Its only fair :P

Yeah I am bad about that too. Either watching TV or on the computer when I should be reading.

Thanks for the support, everyone ^^
I'll have to read the books I own. My mom goes nuts everytime I get a new book xD but I told her the perfect ratio is 3 unread to 1 read!!!

Well if that is the perfect ratio, then I need to buy more books!

Mdom: what about using your local library?
New books to read, without buying them?

i love my local library! =)

I just think that a house should have a lot of books. I imagine if we have a zombie apocalypse and can't get to the library, we would have so many books to read! Yup, that's my reason for buying so many books.

My goal is to read at least 50 books in 2017.

I also have some mini goals to read:

At least 10 books that I own but have not read before.

At least 10 books that I have already read before.

At least 10 books from the library.

Sanssouci: good goals I might secretly borrow a few, like reading 10 books i already own.

so as it turned out, i read 32 books in 2016. so my goal this year is 32 or more books for 2017. =)

Trystan I read 37, which was low for me, I usually read 50+
I don't know what happened to me this year.
