Books I want to get to

2016

Last year I had a goal to read every book that I have bought before the year 2015 and not read yet. And I kinda succeeded. In December I had a book slump and changed it so that I wouldn't need to read 5 of them.

So for this year I have that same thing:
read all the books I have not read but bought before the year 2016
            >meaning since I did this last year as well: all the books I bought in 2015 and haven't read yet (22 now in the beginning of the year)
+ the 5 books I didn't get to for last years goal.

But here are some that I would really love to get to:

10 SERIES I WANT TO FINISH:

>Goose Girl (2)

>Poison Study (2)
False Memory (2)
>A Mad Zombie Party (1)
>Lunar Chronicles (1)
-The Books of Ember (4)
>Manners and Mutiny (1)
>Oz (2)

Sisters Red (3)

<Knife of Never Letting Go (2)
<Dreams of Gods and Monsters (2)

(A book by: Austen
A Sherlock book)

I will also be continuing my "a classic a month" and a "TBR-jar pick every month".
And maybe I'll add "finish one series from this list every month"...

- - -
But the thing I will be doing differently this year: no pressure to get to all of these! I read for fun, and it should stay as that.
         This is also because this year I will start my finals for high school and I want to focus on those when the time comes.

Auhtors, why...

I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding...

What's up with that sentence. Authors seem to think it's magical and write it in every. single. book. There are variations of course, and of which the most obscure one was "He let out a breath I didn't realize he was holding". Now that doen't sound that weird, but the thing is the author used the same line, not twice nor thrice, but four times during a small time span.
         
So I started thinking that there are things like these which we don't even notice anymore. They come and go as a norm and I don't think this should be one.

Another example is from movies and tv shows. How and why is one always in the middle of the elevator when the doors close, so we see your nose for the longest?

Love at first sight. I just don't get it.
Then again if two people hate each other why should they end up together? There is a thing called friends and I like reading about them more than love triangles...

I'm sure there are people with different opinions, but these are just some of mine.
