As of today I’ve read 43 books out of my original goal of 50 books and should finish at least one more before the end of the year. At the beginning of the month I thought I’d be lucky to reach 40 books, but a lot of errands and chores on foot during the last week helped me to blow through several audiobooks.
This is the first year I’ve fallen short of my book goal since 2012-2013, when I read two (yes, two) books in 2012 and zero books in 2013. I blame Game of Thrones. Yes, the book.
Since I haven’t written one of these posts in awhile, this review covers only the highlights. I’ve also excluded December’s books because even though there were some gems, this post has been a work in progress for months and I didn’t want to delay posting it for even longer.
