For 2013 I’m going with 20 30 books.  I find it really hard to read where I’m living now.  Any down time I have by myself, I’d much rather catch up on things on the internet/videos/shows etc (also I tend to read in the bath I’m not fond of the tub in the house).  Sigh.  Bonus, the Kindle Paperwhite is finally in Canada – a gift for myself later this year perhaps?

Originally my goal was to read 50 books in 2012, but because of unemployment and boredom, I was quickly going through books so I upped that goal to 70. Even now, I’m still ahead of the game!
