Wow, Jenny! Way to go.....the reader in me says, "holy cow!!! That's a lot of books!'" while the mathematician in me thinks, "awesome, you're right on track!" Either way: well done!
Finished another nonfiction book!

First off, I'm going to continue the same goals I had last year, it worked really well for some diversity!
20 Adult Fiction Books Read
10 Nonfiction Books Read
Next, I'm focusing on finishing some series! I've now started over 130 series! I want to finish up some series. I'm not going to list them all, but my goal is to finish up at least 30 series this year! Some I only have one book left, so this should be a pretty easy challenge for
me. I'm not going to promise that I won't start any new series, however, as I know I would fail at that!
My last challenge: Like Blue, I really need to read more of the books I own. I have hundreds that I haven't read yet! I want to read 80 books off of my own shelves
These are somewhat ambitious goals, but I know I can do them!
Oh, and I'm setting my total books read Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ goal at 200
Wish me luck :)
