I’m going to try and read 30 books this year. That may not sound like much, but it’d be better than the 24 I managed in 2014, and the pitiful 6 I managed in 2013. (Finishing 30 would be the most for me since 2010, when I started 38 and finished 31; I apparently didn’t keep track of this stuff before then.)
To that end, this is my current to-read backlog. This is all stuff I’ve bought, currently idling in my Kindle account, waiting to be started. I’m simply listing them in the order they’re appearing on my Kindle; I don’t know that this is how I’ll take them on.
The Martian, Andy WeirSilver Screen Fiend, Patton OswaltYour Face Tomorrow, Vol. 1: Fever and SpearYour Face Tomorrow, Vol. 2: Dance and DreamYour Face Tomorrow, Vol. 3: Poison, Shadow, and Farewell, Javier Marías- You, Austin Grossman

So if I can knock all those out, then I can certainly treat myself to 3 new books when I’m done, and meet my challenge.
