2013 Reviews

2013 Page Goal: 21,500

Each year, I set a New Year's Resolution to read a certain number of pages. It's a fun challenge, and one of the few Resolutions I continually work toward all year.

In 2010, I tried to defeat my 10,000 goal from 2009, and read 10,501 pages.
In 2011, my goal was 12,500. I exceeded my goal, having read 13,052.
In 2012, my goal was 15,000 pages. I read 19,804.

This year, I will read 21,500 pages. Minimum.

Here is my record of these pages, and links to the book reviews (if posted):
