Bit late in the year to join but I've been looking at the group for a few days. I've been doing a version of this for about three months now; I don't do numbered goals, just do what's possible, and I go according to various themes. The main one is books from the 1001 lists that I already own or have previously tried to read. Other small themes pop up as I go along like particular cultures, countries or decades, or finishing all the Pulitzer winners I've got, or concentrating on the books I got from a particular source or at a certain time.
And this month I started having a go at the books I hadn't finished earlier in 2013; still got quite a few of those for December - don't expect to make it through all of them but hopefully get a few more done.
In November I finished 18 books, only 3 or 4 of which were new.
Old books 8
(some I'd owned for years; some previously owned, got rid of and re-bought; others previously borrowed & abandoned etc)
Beloved 4.5
Chatterton 4
Wild Sargasso Sea 3
The Short Life & Long Times of Mrs Beeton (had started this at least twice before, so very satisfying to finish) 4.5
The Color Purple 3
The Shipping News 3
Portnoy's Complaint 4.5
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings 4
Meant to read for years but only got a copy this year (the "or 4")
The Lonely Londoners 4.5
Started months earlier in 2013 6 or 7
Americanah 4
The Massive 3
Hunters in the Snow 3.5
The Old Ways 4
Up At the Villa 3.5
Chatterton (also counts as an Old Book) 4
Austerlitz 5
