Reading Progress

My goal for this year is to read 110 books that are new to me.  You see, I re-read.  Frequently.  I am, at this very moment, listening to the audiobook of The Rook by Daniel O’Malley.  This would be the third or fourth time I’ve read it since it came out in January of last year.  The last book I listened to was Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer.  I’ve read or listened to that one probably six times in three years.  But, I am a bookseller and that tends to mean that I need to be up on the latest books, or at least, not try to handsell the same ten books over and over.  So, I set myself these challenges.  So, here’s how I’m doing so far this year:

So, I need twelve more books to reach my goal before the end of the year.  I think that is very doable.  If you’d like to see everything I’ve read, including all my re-reads feel free to check out my Goodreads page.  I’ve got two different shelves tracking my progress this year.  This one is for books over 170 pages and this one is for everything.  Do any of you have suggestions for what I should read next?
