2009 - How things are changing.

While last year was fun, what with the lofty goal of 150 books and several sub-goals beneath that, 2009 is going to be a bit more laid back in comparison. The only rule this year is that there are no rules. I'm still going to aim at reading at least 100 books, if only because I know now that it's not that difficult for me to hit 150 without trying too hard. I also want to continue to try to read books that are outside of my genre "comfort zone" so-to-speak, but I'm not going to set a minimum of how many of these I need to read like I did in 2008.

All that said, I do want to try to review more books this year than I did last year. (I think that my reviews last year came to a grand total of 4.) So, my new format for reviews will be this:

• Each book I review will be given it's own, entry tagged with it's specific author tag, a series tag if appropriate, the year(s) that I read it, and the word "review."
  
• When a book has been reviewed I will link to the review from the monthly "reads" list.
  
• Every time I re-read the book and want to add more thoughts or responses, I will simply go back and edit the original review post with a dated revision underneath the previous review(s)
• Initial reviews will also be added to my LibraryThing account.

Much like last year, I'm probably the only one who cares about any of this, but having it all in writing makes things easier for me.
