As you can see, most of what I read is young adult fantasy and still the majority comes from my library, which is just fine with me. This year, I would like to read more nonfiction and more adult books (probably "classics"). Other than that, I decided not to define specific goals (after all, I am participating in a few reading challenges this year; those are goals, right?).
