Musing Mondays (#1)

I will now be participating in Musing Mondays (almost) every Monday. Musing Mondays is a blog hop hosted by Should be Reading. They post a question for people to discuss & "muse" over. If you have a book blog, you can definitely participate! If not, you can still post your answers below in the comments!


This week's musing asks...

Do you have a reading goal, such as __ books? Why or why not?

Yes, this year, in January I set up my reading goal on Goodreads to be 35 books. I thought that was a pretty reasonable number for the entire year. Last year, I read 18 books. But if you include the fact that I re-read The Hunger Games trilogy, I read 21 books. That was only the second half of 2011 too. I didn't start obsessively reading till June. This year, my goal of 35 books on Goodreads doesn't count books I re-read (I wish it did), but for me in reality, my goal does include books that I re-read. So far, this year I have read 11 (including Divergent which I re-read in January).  I definitely think I can achieve my goal of reading 35 books. I plan on reading a lot this summer & of course, I'll read a lot during my winter break in December as well.

Do you have a reading goal this year? Speak out below in the comments!
