MBS January 2016 Reading Wrap-Up

I have certain goals to reach my challenges and reading total for 2016.

The YEARLY reading goals:
Total = 180
Audio =  72
NetGalley = 42
Print = 12
Tours = 24
Ladies Book Club (LBC) = 12
Mixed in (hopefully includes TBR books I've won) = 18

My TBR goal is to read at least 100 from my shelves, whether Audible, Kindle, other ebook or print.

This breaks down roughly to 15 books on a MONTHLY basis in these formats (with TBRs, print, LBC and others overlapping at times):
Audio --  6
eBooks -- 2  (author review/tour or TBR)
NetGalley -- 3.5
TBR Print  --  1
TBR eBook -- 1
LBC -- 1
Other -- 1

I feel like I got off to a good start in JANUARY with this summary:
Total read = 17
Audio/Audible = 8
eBook = 2 (author/publicist/tour requested reviews)
NetGalley = 6
Print (LBC) = 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TBR = 17 (All obtained prior to 2016)
New to Me Authors = 13
Series Continued = 3

There were three 5.0 rated books in January and six 4.5 starred.

Code for the list is:
A = Audio/Audible
E = eBook
NG = NetGalley
P = Print
