Reading goals for 2008:

• 60 books (5 a month)
• 5 books off The Big List. The Big List is an ongoing list of books I “should” have read. These are mostly classics, and since I read 4 of them last year, I figure 5 is doable this year.
• 1 book of short stories.
• 1 Russian novel.
• More by men. (only 14% in 2007)
• More non-fiction of any type.
• Try to read anything published in 2008 IN 2008.
• Complete my personal TBR Challenge list. This list is made of books that were hugely popular last year and that I own, but never got around to reading.
• Continue blogging about what I’m reading.

The TBR list for 2008, in random order:

• The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
• Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See (my review)
