2014 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge

This year again I'm going to participate again in the Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge. This was a great motivation for my reading when I participated in 2013: I read more books in 2013 than I ever had any year since I started keeping track! So this year I will need to read more than 77 books to make my goal. I'll keep track of the books that I read this year on this page.
