Milestone Goals
Searchability and Accessibility
If I raise this much, I'll start posting my reviews in a format that makes them more easily searchable, shareable, and accessible. Instead of batch-posting reviews on social media, I'll post individual reviews on a Wordpress site, then cross-post them to the places I'm already sharing. I'll also start tagging my reviews for better search.
Monthly Kindle Deal Guide
If I raise this much money, I'll write a monthly guide to what's worth buying from Amazon's Kindle deals.
Review Archives
In addition to posting new reviews going forward, I'll hire someone to collate, reformat, and repost my reviews from 2007-2013. Expect at least one batch of old reviews to go up every month.
Make Me Read It
At this level, you, my patrons, get to suggest and vote on one book a month that I should read and review. Make me read anything you want!

I'm a voracious, omnivorous reader who reads hundreds of books a year. Since 2007, I've been writing reviews of everything I read for fun. Now I'm looking to build a community of book-lovers who want to share my reading life on a regular basis.
If you back this project, you'll be supporting me in posting public book reviews. If you want to get a sense of what my reviews are like, you can check out a sample review, or search G+ for #readinglist2013 to get all my 2013 reviews.
As a reader, I try to enter into the spirit of whatever book I'm reading rather than setting myself up as a judge on high. I'll read nearly anything (mystery, mainstream litfic, fantasy, science fiction, erotica, thrillers, espionage, romance, you name it), and I try to cultivate a sense of taste that crosses genres. I review mostly fiction, since the bulk of my non-fiction reading is work-related rather than for fun.
Backing me will let me make my reviews accessible and searchable. If I hit my pledge goals, I'll also be able to do things like gather together the 1500+ reviews I wrote between 2007 and 2013 in a single place.
Most of all, though, I'm hoping you'll join my community of book-lovers. I'd really like the chance to write about books for you.
