Clouds I'm keeping my target for 2014 the same as 2013 - a book a week.

Within that I want to:
1) Finish my Post-1980 Hugo Winners list
2) Knock at least 10 books off my Finishing The Series list
3) Clear the books that were on my Gifts list from pre-Xmas 2013

Clouds Manuel wrote: ""Post-1980 Hugo Winners list". Will you get to more recent Hugo awards?"

At the moment I'm only doing 1980 onwards and have 8 books left. 2 from the 80s, 2 from the 90s, 2 from the 00s and the last 2 years winners. Of those, I've already bought them all except the last 2.

I will get around to pre-1980 at some point, but I tend to enjoy the older stuff a little less, so that point may well be in 5-10 years... no rush ;-)
