Hi all!!

My goal this year is to read a total of 48 reads. Consisting of 24 fiction -broken down to 12 "new " fiction,
6 "classics "and 6 Supernatural.
Along with 24 non-fiction -broken down to 12 "non fiction" and 12 decorating/home books. You see I have so many of these and have yet to "crack the cover" on them. Some of them are still in plastic!

Hopefully all this is doable! I even made a list! lol

Wishing every one happy reading :+)

ps ticker is also in ticker thread

You're making great progress! I like your goals - might steal your idea next year as I have a lot of gardening and art books I've not properly read and if I don't plan them in they won't be!
