What's your reading goal?

Here we are in January of 2011 and I'm looking to set my reading goal. I have never done this in years past but I know several people who do. I've always just read what I could read and didn't give it a second thought. After reading, hearing and speaking with others about their reading goals I've decided that books were important to me and so I should have a goal to do better in what I love.
So lets do it! Anyone can join at any time!

1. There are five levels to this challenge...Pick your poison:

--The Mini – Read 15
--"Fun" Size – Read 30
--Jumbo Size – Read 50
--Mega Size – Read 75
--Wowzer Size -- Read 125 books

2. Post your name (first name only is ok), city, and your reading goal for 2011 level in the comment section of this post below.

3. Check in at our website's message board and look for your Name, city and goal to show up as a topic (If you don't see it up within 3 days after commenting please email us as you will not be considered entered until that appears).

4. When you complete a book, click on your name and add a comment on the message board with the Title, author and a short review on it. Books read prior to January 1, 2011 do NOT count.

5. Feel free to browse the message boards of other challengers. You can view others goals and reviews, get ideas for books that may interest you and share your hits & misses. See how everyone is doing to acheive their goal and help encourage them!

6. Most importantly, besides the reward of fulfilling a goal for 2011 by doing what you love..there will be a prize in each level! At the end of 2011 everyone who completed and/or succeeded their goal will be entered in a drawing. Winners will be announced in the first week of January 2012!

Good Luck to everyone, I can't wait to see what you are all reading!
