New Year's Resolutions

Okay, I know this is a bit belated, but I have an excuse! I seriously thought I had already posted them, but when I was looking for them, I couldn't find anything :-( So, here they are!

My New Year's Resolutions for 2007!

• 1. I won't buy much books other than those I need for various discussions. Actually, I will limit myself to buying no more than 20 books this year!



• 2. I will read as many reads I signed up for as I can.



• 3. I will read more non-fiction books.



• 4. I hope to get a lot further into at least three of my series. With a lot further I mean I'd like to read at least three books, better more!



• 5. I want to finish updating the database of all my books, which I started last year.



• 6. I will read at least a few of the books that are sitting on my shelves waiting for me since several years now. I have some from before 2003! Heck, I was in school back then... *shakinghead*



• 7. I won't try to finish books that just don't make me want to read on. Too many books, too little time!



• 8. I will try to read at leat 60 books, not matter what happens this year! For every third book I read above that limit, I will get to buy one book more in 2008. This should actually make me read a lot ;-)
