My Reading Goals, Wishlist, and Next on My Lists

Okay, so I thought I would do an update post, more for myself, but also for anyone who is curious or needs ideas ;) I have some reading goals, books on my wish list (to buy), and what I want to read and watch in the next few weeks/ months. I have another month of uni. left before summer vacation =:) (I am literally counting the days till my almost 4 month summer vacation), so this post will remind me of what I planned. Here goes!

My Reading Goals
1. According to goodreads, read 50 book in 2013.     
2. Read 75% of my books before buying any new ones (I want to finish series before starting new ones).
3. Buy a bookshelf and do a "tour and decor" once I get it!
4. Become a Barnes and Noble member by November 2013 (gift to myself :P).
5. Give away some of my books (to friends and/or book sales).

Updates to my 50 books goal and all my virtual bookshelves are on http://www.goodreads.com/sabrinafatima

My Book Wish list (to-buy)
1. The Zion Deception by Laurence B. Brown (I'm a massive fan of his fiction, haven't read others)
2. Echoes by Jamilah Kolocotronis
3. Footsteps by Umm Zakiyah
4. Muslim Teens in Pitfalls and Pranks by Maryam Mahmoodian
5. Sophia's Journal: Time Warp 1857 by Najiyah Diana Helwani

I usually buy books that I want to read, but can't find on the library catalog (Islamic fiction) and/or ones I liked and want to add to my collection. More books I plan to buy are on my shelf @ http://www.goodreads.com/sabrinafatima
