While I didn't reach my goal of 270 books in 2013, I did make it up to 84% which is still pretty good. This year I'm going to make my goal a bit more realistic and manageable to 250 books. Many thanks to this year's host, Gina @ Book Dragon's Lair, for hosting this challenge.

That's a lot of books for a full time working person! Don't know how you did it! I just barely made my goodreads goal, I was reading until 11:45 last night. I'm a big partier aren't I?? lol Good luck with your challenges!!
Heather
Happy New Year
Congrats on choosing level 3! I challenged myself to read 250 books on GoodReads. I did the same last year and I managed (but only just). Hopefully I'll have as much time this year.
Good luck and happy reading!
I didn't get anywhere near 200 books this year. I'd like to in 2014.
How was your Xmas break, btw? Nice to have time off work?
