According to Goodreads, I've met my goal of 200 books this year. But that includes 6 short works which are fewer than 50 pages each. I've read 194 full-length books. There are a couple of short ones (~100 pages or so) which are predominantly books for mid-grade (5th - 8th grade) readers. I have almost completed reading Vicky Peterwald: Target, and I expect to finish two more books by midnight on New Year's Eve. But even if I lump the 6 smaller works together and call them a "book", I'll still finish up with 198-ish books for the year. BUT ... I've read more than 56,000 "pages", so this is definitely the year in which I have read the most -- both books and pages.
I'll update on 1 January to note the final statistics for the year.
Hope everyone is enjoying the end-of-year break and holidays -- whichever you celebrate.
