Through the end of May 2020:

Goals:

Length Goals:
Total Books: 50 (stretch goal of 75) | Total Pages: 25,000 | ETBR Reduction: 25 | PTBR Reduction: 10
Substantive Goals:
Read at least 51% non-American authors | Read more female/nonbinary authors than male | Read at least 52 short stories | Read at least 10 of the New Leaf Book Club/Literary Book Club selections

Cumulative 2020 Totals:

51 books - 102% of my goal (68% of stretch) - GOAL MET / Stretch Goal On Target
32 short stories - 75% of my goal - On Target
16301 pages - 65% of my goal - On Target
57% female/nonbinary authors / 43% male authors - On Target and 6% better than Jan-April
33% US authors / 67% non-US authors - On Target
ETBR Reduction: Reduced by 15 - 60% of my goal - On Target
PTBR Reduction: Reduced by -14 - 10% of my goal - Way off target - my wife has been buying a few books a week from our local independent bookstore to support them while they are closed due to Covid-19. Good reason to be behind here. I am being a little unfair to myself counting all her purchases as mine, but we read together, so I will get to them... eventually.

Overall TBR Reduction - 7 - did not have a goal here, and this number took a big hit due to our paper book-buying right now.
