Happy New Year, Update, & Reading

Posted by
I hope everyone is having a safe and fabulous New Year's Eve.

For those of you who have asked, I'm feeling better.  I had some tough days in December 2012, but I survived them.  I am thankful for all the kind, supportive friends who sent me positive thoughts and prayers.

I just checked my reading challenge stats.  I had hoped to read 350 works in 2012.  Notice I said "works."  I include novels, novellas, and short stories in my count.  I didn't make that goal in 2011, but for 2012 I exceeded it.  I'm ending the year at 429.  That's 123% of my goal.  I'm glad Goodreads did that math because I wouldn't have on my own. :)  I'm thinking about my goal for 2013.  I'm considering making it 429 since that's what I managed for this year.  Hmm...

  2. Glad things are looking up a bit for you. Well done on exceeding your goal. I JUST made it, by going back and seeing which books I'd forgotten to add. :-) My 2013 is going to be kind of crazy, so I think I am going to lower mine. I'm thinking 275 maybe.

    I see you picked 430 as your goal - that was going to be my recommendation!
