Books to read in 2013

[xfirefly9x]

There are way too many books I have not yet had a chance to read and have been meaning to for ages. Therefore, I am going to list some that I wish to read in 2013, beginning with those I own and a few Zach owns. Here is the first draft of that list:

Books I own:

Velocity by Dean Koontz
Double Dexter by Jeff Lindsay
Maul by Tricia Sullivan

Books Zach owns:

Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks
House of Suns by Alastair Reynolds

Books neither of us owns that I want to read:

Shine Light by Marianne de Pierres

As per usual, I'll probably give myself a goal of 25 books for 2013 on the goodreads reading challenge. Or maybe I'll up that to 30 this time..

What are you all planning to read/watch in the new year?

Since I got the third book of the "The golden Compass"-Trilogy for my birthday, I'm hoping I'll find the time to read those. There's also the "A song of ice and fire"-series sitting on my bookshelf as well as a bunch of other books I have not read yet.
Right now all I've got the time to read are books for university since I'm preparing for my final exams, but I'll be done by March and then hopefully I'll find time to read novels again.

Last night I saw that they will air Elementary on German free-tv in January. I guess I'll give it a try. I also want to watch the final season of Leverage and the fifth season of The Big Bang Theory as well as Terra Nova and Revolution. I might also catch up on Chuck.

Oh, this is an excellent plan! I have so many books in my book case that I didn't get around to this year, I should make a list so I can cross those off before I buy more crap ;).

I set a goal of 50 books this years, and I barely made it (on book 50 right now), but I do admit that 6 of them were short stories. But I didn't count any fic or graphic novels so whatever, I figure it compensates ;). I may do 50 books again this year but since I'm getting another uni degree, I worry I won't have as much time as I did this year. Ah well, we'll wait and see!

I usually set my challenge to 55 books, but this year it'll be 25 only because I want to read all of the Game of Thrones books I have left to read and they are usually long reads. EEEP! We'll see how I manage.

I read 110 new books this year... We should add each other on goodreads! :D

Awesome idea. :)

At the moment I'm reading book #44, I wanted to reach 50, but like last year I won't tackle it. So my goal for 2013 50 books again. :P
