To take part, just pick your top ten, and add the link here.
1. Reasonable Book Challenge Number -
I've been better about this starting last year. But for a while there I was just reading as too many books as I could. And many of them were garbage, complete garbage.
2. Only Read Books That I Really Care About -
Going off of above. I need to refine the books I read, and not just grab anything to read. If a book only sounds mildly interesting rather than really pull me into reading it, I need to not. Quality over quantity.
3. Branch Out With My Reading -
I pretty much only read fantasy or any of the sub-genres of Fantasy. I want to read other genres. Especially ones that I don't normally read. Non-Fictions, Contemporary, heck even Science Fiction would do.
4. Read The Books I Already Own -
I have almost 20 unread books on my shelf that I need to read. A couple of them I've had for years.
5. Borrow From The Library More -
This is kind of going with limiting the books I buy. Granted, I don't buy books as often as I would like already, but this way I can read a book I am interested in for free, and not take up shelf space in the process. (I use the e-Library.)
6. Request Fewer From NetGalley -
This has been a problem since I found out about the site. I request around 5-10 books at a time, not really expecting to be accepted for most of them. But then I get accepted for most of them and if any of you have requested from NetGalley before you know that there's a time limit to submit your review. Then I end up rushing my read of the book and sometimes that means that I end up not liking the book as much as I would have if I had been able to read it at my own pace.
7. Read At Least One Classic -
I have never actually read a classic on my own. The ones I had to read for school don't really count in my eyes. But I have about 4 classics on my bookshelf that I could easily read. (Dorian Gray, Alice in Wonderland, Dracula, Wonderful Wizard of Oz) I literally have no excuse.
8. Weed Through My Goodreads TBR Shelf -
There are books on there that I have added years ago that I have made no effort to read. Not even look to see if my library has them, or even to request they buy it so I can read it.
9. Read In Bed Less -
My sleep has suffered this past year from how often I read while trying to fall asleep. It causes me to stay up later than I should and I don't always remember what I've read.
10. Read Dune -
My husband has been trying to get me to read Dune for years. And I just keep refusing, no reason why... I guess I'm just being stubborn.

Great list! I'm going to request fewer books from NetGalley too since I'm still trying to get through the ones I still have on my shelf.
