Thumbs up Goal: Survive 2020

Well, this was certainly a year. I managed to hit my revised goal for the year of 12,000 pages despite dropping it in September. I would have been happy with anything. 2021 here we come!




Covid-19 Update: On June 1st I reduced my goal to 12,000 pages and on September 1st I abandoned my goal entirely. I'm still tracking what I read (which isn't much) but I'm not going to aim for any specific number of pages. All I'm doing recently is some short stories from podcasts really. I've lost almost all of my dedicated reading time (i.e., my commute) so there's just no way for me to do this. Hopefully I'll be able to start reading again at some point this year.

I am keeping my goal from 2019 of 24,000 pages.

I will continue to participate in the New Leaf Book Club and want to read 8 of 12 selections there this year (leaving myself some room for unavailable titles).


Page Goal: Read 24,000 pages in 2020.

Status as of December 31: 12,036 pages read, 44 books/short stories completed.
