2013 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge

This year again I'm going to participate in the Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge. This was a great motivation for my reading when I participated in 2012. So this year I will need to read more than 55 books to make my goal. I've already read 18 books this year, so I feel like I'm off to a pretty good start. I'll be keeping tracking of my books here, so that I can keep my goal in sight.
