[ 50 books challenge ]
I didn't decide until now to start 50bookchallenge so I haven't been keeping track of the books I've read this year. I think I'm definitely forgetting some. Bummer. 17 feels really short, but I read a lot of poetry I'm not counting, and stuff for school. I also started about 15 other books that I'm reading now, or that I lost interest in. I'm just keeping the list here, to be updated throughout.
