Great goal, TaMara! As our kids age the length and depth of their books also does. I am currently in the midst of 7 books with our kids and 8 for myself; that's a lot.
My goal in 2010 was to read at least 5 books...thats what I could manage with studying, working (both full time and part time). I did manage to read 4 books though (Yippee!). This year I plan to do more, maybe about 2 books in a month! Let's hope it works!
Having a defined goal really does help you to meet it. I could increase the amount I read by a little but not significantly I think.
My goals currently are:
I will try to start reading a "classic" book as soon as I finish reading one, so that I am always in the midst of a classic.
I will read at least 2 additional Jane Austen novels this year.
I will read as many of the ebooks that I already own or have downloaded for free to greatly reduce the amount of money I am spending purchasing books. At least part of the savings will allow my son and I to purchase ereaders that have full touch-screens and color.
My goal for this year is to read at least 1 book a month outside of what I read with my kids for school.
