2019 was the first year that I didn't set a goal. It's amazing how relaxed I was in the last two weeks of the year. Even in years where I met my goal weeks before the end of the year, I still felt stressed to see HOW MANY books I could complete before the ball dropped.
So in 2020, I'm going to do the same. My primary reading goal will be to avoid purchasing books by taking advantage of the 6 library cards and Overdrive accounts that I have. I also want to read a classic or two as well as whittling away on the Newbery award books.
Even though I don't have a goal/target in terms of number of books or pages, I will still keep records. In 2019, I read 148 books with a total of 46,669 pages. I also read 9 novellas/novelettes with a total of 422 pages. I only read one dead tree book in 2019 and 9 others were audiobooks. Of the 148 books and short works, 138 of them were borrows.
