I'm planning to read at least 50 books this year...
I recently realized I need goals. This seems do-able? 50 books in a year - so about a book a week. I'll keep the list updated with the titles of the books at least if not brief write-ups. Who knows, maybe some of you will join and keep me company?
Incidentally, am not counting books I'm re-reading. But as the year progresses, I might cheat and include those too! Year has progressed. Am not doing well. So yeah, re-reads count.
