I'll probably end up in the 72 to 75 book range which is pretty good. Not my best for books or pages, but a good year of reading. Lots covered. Lots of books from Canada and Japan. Overall pretty happy with the quality of books I found and I like my challenges for next year. A bit of serious, a bit of goofy and a reasonably light reading load to get through the two sub-challenges. Gearing up for another year in the life in a few years when I celebrate my 50th year on the planet.
I'll keep my $20 per month budget for books despite being in a position to think about lowering it. I want to have the guilt-free budget there if some fabulously interesting book from some obscure country needs a purchase. Looking at Oman, Mongolia, Honduras, Bolivia, The Gambia, and Papua New Guinea.
