SA Book & Challenge Lovers discussion

I don't really want to use a specific number of books as my reading goal, as some books are very short, others very long, some take me weeks to read, others I can read in a day, so in the end the tally doesn't mean that much to me. So instead I'm making up some more specific reading goals, for what I want to read this year.
