What is your reading challenge for 2014?

Arlene: My reading challenge for 2014 will be to catch up on some of my series favorites that I’ve fallen behind on such as Morganville Vampires, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, The Coincidence, Covenant, Infernal Devices, The Grisha, His Fair Assassin 

Amber: My reading Challenge for 2014 will be to read books on my shelf I haven't gotten to, catch up on series I've fallen behind on, and try to read some thrillers (I'm a big chicken)
Crystal: My reading challenger number wise will be 122. It was 121 in 2013 and I have increased it by one every year so I am going to continue to do that. As far as other goals go I am going to try and clean up my Netgalley and Eldeweiss account and also finish up a few series that I have left hanging on my shelf. I know 2014 will be an exciting year! 

Tina: I plan to read all books on my shelf purchased from 2013 and below.

Thank you everyone for a great reading and blogging year!! Be sure to share some of your 2013 favorites!!
