Goals:

Total Books: 50 (stretch goal of 100) | Total Pages: 25,000 | TBR Reduction: 25 (stretch goal of 50)
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

Aggregate Totals (Updated through September):

100 books - 200% of my goal (100% of stretch goal) - GOAL MET
53 short stories - 102% of my goal - GOAL MET
25,855 pages - 103% of my goal - GOAL MET
53% female/nonbinary authors / 47% male authors - on target
52% US authors (up from 47%) / 48% non-US authors (down from 52%) - off target - I read too many things with my wife that I hadn't planned on and it skewed this number.
293 of 365 chapters of War and Peace complete - on target
TBR Reduction: Reduced by 46 - 192% of my goal (96% of stretch goal) - on target
New Leaf Book Club selections - 9 for 9 - on target

I am glad to see all those GOAL MET tags as I am starting a new job next week and I know my reading numbers will be impacted.
