For 2018 I had decided that I was going to read three books every two months totaling to eight books for the whole year. I also said if I was not on track with my reading That would not allow myself to purchase any new books. That was a lie. I still bought books and have a stack from last year I have yet to read or have read half of and put down. I also didn't make my reading goal. I was short by one title. I honestly could have done it. I had at least three books I had finished half way. The person I was doing the reading challenge of 18 books for the year also did not reach goal, so this year we have decided to try only one book a month. If I end up going over that amount i'll consider upping the stakes depending on how much time in the year is left or what books i'm considering picking up.
Last year I had wanted to read 'IT' but decided against it because I knew I wouldn't be able to, or rather wouldn't want to be juggling multiple books when I was reading it. I know it will probably take me more then a month to finish and it wouldn't have fit into that 3 books in 2 month quota I was trying to reach. I'm hoping this year is the year...
That being said I do have several books lined up for this year as well as comics/manga. Before you ask I do not count a single comic book issue as it's own book when i'm tallying up number of books read. I count them as a book when I have reached up to six to eight issues depending on the comics run, because that is the usual amount of comics per volume.
Without further to do here are a list of some of the books I hope to read this year. Books already read will be crossed out: currently at 2/12
