Mount TBR 2016 discussion

I have so much hope for this, i'm wanting to read 80 next year but i feel like i won't so i'll go for 60 on this and if i exceed that then woo!

Good luck, Beth!

Thank you, I'll probably fail miserably but oh well!

You can do it!

Preparing to fail is the first step towards failure. Or something. You can do it!

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail - Benjamin Franklin
Is this what you meant? I am highly prepared to fail and am quite prepared in numerous goals and reading challenges for the year, that I highly doubt I shall manage in fact below you can find what I'm on about

Ever the optimist!

Not exactly XD that quote did come to mind, but it was more a thing about thinking positively. By saying you're going to fail, you'll probably fail. Self fulfilling prophecies and all that.

I have to say, though, you are looking very organised! I'm doing an alphabet soup thing as well, and have printouts for 3 other challenges too, including the popsugar one.

Here's to a successful year of reading!

Haha oh, If I said that I would deffo read five thousand books next year then I would be less likely to do it so this way is more of reverse psychology to help me achieve (All being well) I like my options and I'm planning books towards the different challenges and I'm finding it easier, because I can double up on the challenges so alphabet soup and popsugar. I'm trying it out and if it doesn;t work then at least I've tried. Good luck to you and I hope you achieve all your reading goals for 2016! :) xxx
