My goal was originally 75 but I surpassed that by a long shot! Next year I think I am going more for quality over quantity and I bought a ton of LARGE classic novels to start. I also really want to hold off on the library and try to make it through my overstuffed bookcases a little. My goal is to only check out books that are part of any series that I am already reading. I am going to try not to buy any books either. I might use my library bookstore though since they're all around 50 cents apiece. My local used bookstore is going out of business in a few months and she's promised me a large discount since I'm a frequent shopper so I might have to pick up a few ones from there, too!
