It's 2014! That means another year has gone by and it's time to set my reading goal for the new year. Last time I found, and participated, in the Book Vixen's "Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge" challenging myself to read 100 books. I far exceeded that challenge so this year I'm going to challenge myself to 120 books ('I'm on Fire!' level) . Hopefully I can make it!
Here are the challenge details if you want to participate:
Reading Challenge Details:

- The goal is to outdo yourself by reading more books in
2014 than you did in 2013. See the different levels below and pick the
one that works best for you. You can move up a level as often as you’d like but
no moving down.

I found this lovely book challenge today and thought why not? It's the "2013 Outdo Reading Challenge" hosted by The Book Vixen and I'm so excited to be joining it. Last year I barely scraped by with my 60 books read challenge and honestly, I wasn't proud of that amount. So this year I'm aiming for more than that, 100 in fact. So first let me state the rules and then declare my challenge:

Now that we all know the rules, I'm officially challenging myself to the 'I'm on fire!' level. Hopefully I'll make it (Although if the amount of books I've read in January is a good indication I think I'll be fine).
