2024 YEAR IN BOOKS
In the past, normally I would set my reading goal between 30-40 books for the year. This year, I just knew I'd struggle and be in a reading slump - so I set a more realistic goal of 20. I ended up reading 26 books! Granted, a few of these books are real short - some even under 50 pages 🤣
