In 2013 I didn't do too terribly. I didn't meet my goal of a hundred books, but I read 59 novels! Could have been worse. I'm hoping 2014 will bring a bit more organisation to my reading (something I only began to implement in the end of last year) and that I can read all the books I want to read. There are so many, it's not even funny.
