So, thankfully, it looks like I'm starting earlier than expected on a reading goal of mine - read more literary books rather than pure escapism. Unfortunately, this was brought about because I've decided to move countries (again) and I really wanted to read some books with meaning rather than something that's purely escapist - something for my mind to chew on as anxiety ramps up. It really does help.

I know I'm going to fall behind on my page count goal due to all the prep I will need to do for moving (it's rather ambitious anyways), so focusing on short novels has helped me keep wanting to read. Maybe I can just inflate my # books read at the beginning of the year so I can move onto some longer books after I move and I have more free time.
