Through the end of July 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:

67 books - 134% of my goal (89% of stretch) - GOAL MET / Stretch Goal On Target
36 short stories - 69% of my goal - On Target
20021 pages - 80% of my goal - On Target
58% female/nonbinary authors / 42% male authors - On Target no change from June
36% US authors / 64% non-US authors - On Target
ETBR Reduction: Reduced by 20 - 80% of my goal - On Target
PTBR Reduction: Reduced by -28 - ABANDONED - 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. She plans to keep this up until they are able to re-open, so my print TBR goal may just be shot for the year. Still, worthy cause.

Overall TBR Reduction 28 - reduction of Ebook TBR and Audiobook TBR. I have removed paper books from the calculation for the reasons above
