First and foremost, happy new year! Today, I thought it was time to share my reading goals for the next year.
Last year, when I discovered Goodreads, I signed up for the Goodreads challenge. I decided to try to read 50 books, and it went down very well. I really liked having the challenge, and it really pushed me to read more.
This year, I want to try to read even more, so I'm going to double my challenge. I want to read 100 books in 2015 (gasp!). Seeing as I read around 80 books this year, I think it'll be fine, although I have to up my game a little bit.
Now, within that goal, I have some other goals. I want to read at least:

5 classics
Because I want to read a lot of classics, but I rarely get around to it, so maybe this will push me to pick them up.

5 graphic novels
Because I've fallen in love with graphic novels, and I want to read more!
5 poetry books
I love poetry, but rarely read it. Time to fix that.

5 Norwegian books
I read almost all my books in English, and it's kind of sad - I need to read more in my native language!

5 non-fiction books
A genre I am very unfamiliar with, but want to explore.

5 books I know nothing about
I research most of the books I read before I get them, but sometimes it's nice to just pick one up for whatever reason - without checking out reviews or ratings beforehand.
5 translated books (not from English or Norwegian)
I want to read more from authors from other countries!
5 books from different continents
Closely tied up to the previous goal, I want to read more diversely.
