Aggregate Totals (Updated through October):

57 short stories - 109% of my goal - GOAL MET
31,873 pages - 103% of my goal - GOAL MET
52% female/nonbinary authors / 48% male authors - on target
52% US authors (up from 47%) / 48% non-US authors (down from 52%) - off target - Still working on it!
293 of 365 chapters of War and Peace complete - off target - but I plan to make up lost ground over Thanksgiving.
TBR Reduction: Reduced by 48 - 192% of my goal (96% of stretch goal) - on target
New Leaf Book Club selections - 9 for 10 - on target

Man, new jobs are brutal. In my old job, I still had a good bit of audiobook time during the day. But I'm in court so much now that its a no go.
