New list

Name: shanaqui, reviews posted as wilderthan
Goal: To read seventy-five books (minimum) over the summer.
Definition of "book": On the list below or an addition to it.
Books read so far: This goal starts from today.

A little about my goal and my reading habits: It's been a while since I had a goal on this comm. I'm trying to read at least 365 books in 2010, but I haven't been focusing too much on that during term-time. Now it's holidays, and even if I get a job I'll have more spare time. So I'm hoping to get a healthy chunk done. I've picked certain books so I can a) clear my shelves, b) return books to people I borrowed them from or c) finish up a series (or three). Or a mixture of the three. Generally I read one book on my ipod, one on my ereader, and one in hard copy, but most of these are for my ereader or hard copy. I expect I'll add to this list, it's just a preliminary.

The list is currently 100 books long, and I'm hoping to read at least 75 of the listed books.
