2014 has just begun, and its a good whole new year for a challenge! HOW MANY BOOKS CAN U READ OR WILL BE ABLE TO READ this year???
for me... im promising myself to read 30 books this year. so many books, so little time! if i exceed my goal, then im a happier person! :)
this is not an actual competition. it is just a gauge for each and everyone of us on how to maintain reading as a part of our everyday lives. Remember: your only rival is ur own self. so lets start reading! :)

I'm targeting to read 30 books this year.

Yes, counting is not competing by numbers but a simple reminder for me to focus and not to wander around lollygagging.

My goal is to read more to write more!

Neil Gaiman is my literary fairy godfather this year hahaha!

i read a quote from some book (forgot the particular book ;) ) that it doesn't matter how many books you can get through but how many books can get through you.

i hope i get to find and read 10 other books that can get through me, excluding of course books that are part of a series which are to be released this year (ignite me, city of heavenly fire) :)

Looking forward also to the Divergent movie and Fault in our Stars! :D

Happy New Year and Happy Three Kings na din. :)

I don't have a number to go with but I do have a list of things I would like to accomplish this year.
    Clear or lessen my To Be Read stack of books. ;)
    Catch up on/Finish any and all of the series I got myself into. Just thinking about this is making my head swim. :lol:
    Discover more local authors and their work.
    Foray into an unfamiliar genre. Jury's still out on the particulars.

On a ReadPhilippines note naman.
    Sana manumbalik ang pangungulit ko dito sa forum. :lol:
    Possibly schedule and organize a few more meet-ups and other things. :D sana marami ulit ang makarating. :P paging Sir Bagamundo~ :lol:

bwahahahaha PUSH!!! 8-)

First challenge para sa akin is for me to get out of reading slump... wala pa akong nababasang libro this year. kainis...

I am hoping that lahat ng nakatambak na TBR ko, kahit kalahati mabasa ko...

i am still feeling ambitious this year hehehe! so i set up my reading challenge of 2014 to 150 books. i need to take it slow coz last year was crazy for me. it is not really good for my health O_O
there are many final installment series that are releasing this year so i'm excited for those as well as the movie adaptations like Divergent, TFIOS, Book Thief (who has ebook copy of this pls send me i want to read before i see the movie it's awesome daw) etc.
