Do you have any reading goals for March?

Just keep plugging away, I guess.  I'm new to this whole thing, but I think I'm catching on ok.  I'm not part of the "mini-challenge", as I knew not about it until after i had already read books, but the big goal of Harlequin sending a nice gift to help end illiteracy is smashing!

"If one can read s/he can accomplish anything!' 

My goal is usually to read more than I buy.  I did well in the month of January...not doing so well this month.

Many, Many CONDOLENCES and MUCH PITY for your sorry state of AFFAIRS,love. 

you're probably going to have time to read in March, that you divide
that by the number of lines you want to read (Mysteries, Suspense, HH
and LI historicals, Medieval fiction, Medieval romance, MR and HR) and
then that you check out the descriptions of your subscription books
here and make your reading list in order of preference

and when you see recommendations in the blogs, you make your April list in order of preference of those you have (or will have by April)

you might also like to "allow" yourself to put aside certain subscription books for later (May, September etc)

because if you look at the number of books you subscribe to, and
it's more than the number of books you can read in a month, well you're
obviously going to fall behind on your subscriptions, but it's normal
and nothing to worry about

Even if the number of books you subscribe to is less than the number
of books you read in a month, you're "allowed" to feel like reading
something else, to save some for your holidays, to keep them for when
other bloggers create a buzz about them

you're being too hard on yourself, this is supposed to be fun, and a good book is a book you'll enjoy whenever you get to it

My reading goals for March are the Mbag that just arrived and ignoring the old TBR for a month

and I'm not going to even feel guilty about it

  Thanks!

The sad thing is, I've seen more challenges that I wanted to sign up for.  I had to tell myself NO.

I'm curious to see how many of them I actually complete. 

I feel guilty because I just read whatever appeals to me, i.e. whatever I am in the mood for.

Part of the reason I joined those other challenges was to help me be more organized about my reading -- not letting a favorite series, or author, get over looked.  I meant to read at least one Georgette Heyer novel last year and I didn't; I wanted to read more "first published" in 2007 and didn't.  I may have over extended myself a bit, but there's no pressure for me to successfully finish any of the challenges:  if I do, hooray for me; if I don't, no biggie and try again next year (if that particular challenge is held again)

There's still plenty of flexiblity for me to pick what I might be in the mood for, even if it's not on any of my lists.  If nothing else, I can count it in the "A-Z Challenge" and here, of course.

One of the "lessons learned" from this year's challenges:  if at all possible, leave the alternate lists "TBA".  

I'm hoping to work through some of my SRS that are piling up. I was hoping to work more into this month but so far hasn't happened.

slow for me too

Going
to concentrate on series and continuities for March - getting a bit fed
up with the Feb challenge (no thanks to the FR postal service )

nonetheless if I want to make it to four figures I'm going to need to pick up the pace a little (don't tell DH)
