My goal is to read 50 this year. I read 51 in 2014!
Are you signed up at the 50 Book Pledge? 50bookpledge.ca. It’s a fun (and easy and visual) way to keep track of what you read. I think 50 is an admirable amount of books to read. Good luck!
My goal is to start The Secret History some day. ACK. I’m hopeless.
Ha! Connor and I will make a reader out of you yet!
My goal this year is to read 70 books. Last year I made it to 71.
71 is awesome. I see people who read 100, 200…and I often wonder how in the heck they’re doing it – must be reading picture books. LOL
