Goals:

Length Goals:
Total Books: 50 (stretch goal of 75) | Total Pages: 25,000 | TBR Reduction: 25
Substantive Goals:
Read at least 51% non-American authors | Read more female/gender-fluid authors than male | Read at least 52 short stories | Read at least 10 of the New Leaf Book Club selections | Complete a re-read of the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation of War and Peace

January Totals:

16 books - 32% of my goal - on target
9 short stories - 17% of my goal - on target
4,380 pages - 17% of my goal - on target
52% female authors / 48% male authors - on target
71 % US authors / 29% non-US authors - WAY off target. The short stories are killing this balance.
47 of 365 chapters of War and Peace complete - on target
TBR Reduction: Reduced by 6 - 24% of my goal - on target

I might need to rethink my targets...
