Length Goals:

Total Books: 50 (stretch goal of 75)
Total Pages: 15,000
E-TBR Reduction: 25
Read from Print-TBR: 10

Substantive Goals:

Read at least 51% non-American authors
Read more female/nonbinary authors than male
Read at least 52 short stories
Read each Poem of the Week (52) posted by The Guardian
Read at least 10 books across all our collections that are selected by my wife. It's a great way to read things I would not ordinarily do, and I almost always end up enjoying them.

I've adjusted my book and page goals down some, in an effort to read at a higher quality.

I remain committed to reading non-American authors, though I'd like to read fewer English authors too.

I also remain committed to reading more female and nonbinary authors than male. I spent all of my time at univeristy reading DWM from the canon. I want to continue to temper that experience with other voices and perspectives.

I added a goal to read the Guardian's Poem of the Week every week. This is just as much about intention and habits as it is about the poetry. I used to enjoy poetry a great deal, but i just sort of stopped reading it. This is a nice chance to start taking it back in, bits at a time.
