2013 Reading Challenge

It's very obvious. Goodreads reading challenge is definitely a must for those who claimed to love books and reading. This year, I challenge myself to read 125 books. But there are some considerations.

I really think most of the challenge I enter for year 2013 should focus on my To-Be-Read pile, especially those I owned already. You see, I have this habit to put books in my TBR list just because I thought it'd be great. Meanwhile, I also bought and bought books. And don't forget about the Net Galley. What can I say, I'm a book hoarder. :D

So there are actually several kinds of TBR on my list:

1. The one I bought but not read it yet
2. The one I thought would be great 
3. The one I've requested from Net Galley
4. The one I got as a gift/present
5. The one I won from giveaway
6. The one I borrowed from friends.

Since bookshelves in my house are getting fulled because of my books, I really need to start reading it fast. That way, I could decide whether I want to keep it or not. I also need to start reading those I got from the Net Galley. Not that I got approved every time, I got more rejection than approval. So I guess that means I couldn't keep requesting without even reading it, right?
The best solution so that I could keep focusing on my TBR is entering a reading challenge. I try my best to enter the challenge for reading books I believe I could manage because 2013 would be a busy year since I have to finish my study in June. And I really think that I should make some arrangement or schedule to my reading programs.
Here are the lists of challenge I signed up (sort by the date I signed up).
