New Year’s Update
On New Year's 2015-2016, I made a resolution which I have re-made every year since: to
1) Read as many books as possible throughout the year, with the ultimate goal of (1a) reading at least 52 books (1/week) in one year, and
2) Keep an accurate and up-to-date list of all the books I'd read, so that I'd never forget.
I'm happy to relate that, after three years of trying, I have successfully achieved Resolution 1a! This year I finished 79 books! In past years I’ve posted my results on Facebook, but for the first time ever I can share the results with ya’ll here.
