Books::2018.
This post a place for me to keep track of the books I read in 2018. Yes, I know I also keep track on goodreads blah blah blah. Feel free to skip this post, or you can share book recommendations, talk about your reading goals for this year or anything book-related.
My goal last year was to read 100 books, which I achieved. I read 133 books in 2017. Not bad when you consider I had a month-long reading slump and read a few monster-sized novels.
My goal for 2018 is once again 100 books.
