My goal is to finish 8 books in November. At present, I have 36 books in my 'currently reading' list, so I would like at least four of them to be books already in that list, at least one to be something I've bought in the last month, and at least one to be from the shelf I've been stashing books I really really want to read as soon as I get caught up.
Tentatively, the starting list is (currently reading, unless otherwise mentioned) 1. The Moonlight Dreamers (Siobhan Curham) -- recently purchased 2. Hark! A Vagrant 3. Jackie French's Chook Book -- TBR long term resident 4. The Stars Askew (Rjurik Davidson) 5. A Skinful of Shadows (Frances Hardinge) 6. One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel Garcia Márquez)
Once I've finished two of these, I'll think about what else to add to the list.
Stretch goal: Any week where I read more than two books, the extra numbers will be added to the total for the month, so that I continue to challenge myself to finish two a week. This is because I'm working towards the longer term goal of having 20 or fewer books on the currently reading list at the beginning of 2019. Getting 8 books off the list in November would keep me on track.
