Guidelines.
● Read books you haven't read before.
● Good books! Yes! (Well, if they aren't up to par, you can still count them...)
● Discuss these books! Give us reviews and thoughts (please label major spoilers).
● Try to go out of your comfort zone and explore new things.
● Don't be afraid of that really thick book (or that skinny one).
● Try reading authors you've shied away from before.
● You can count books read from December 26 and onward.
● If you have read part of a book, stopped before the end, then go back and decide to reread the whole thing, you can count it.
● Most importantly: ENJOY.

I tend to procrastinate with reading. Even if I think a book is really good, it still takes me at least a week or two to read. x{
It usually results because I forget to read one day. I'll be on this streak of reading each day, and one day I'll forget. This will cause a lapse, which can sometimes last for months, of me not reading much. burning_eyes

@Gummy; After I finish with the books I plan on reading, I might read a book called Infinite Jest. It's 1,079 pages in length, and I've never read anything that long.
