This year my goal on Goodreads is 135 books. I also am part of the PopSugar Reading challenge group on facebook. This year, we selected our own tasks, which I am really excited about. Part of my personal goal is to encourage more diversity in my own reading - more male authors, more authors from different cultures, more genre variety, etc I think this list is going to help me accomplish that.
