Another Year is in the books! (Lol)
I read 82 books in 2023, maybe some were audiobooks but overall that’s an amazing accomplishment. I really like all kinds of books, last year I dived into a lot of ‘self-help’ or ‘knowledge’ type books to help with leadership training and development and some anxiety coping tips, along with the favorites, rom-coms, steamy sexy novels, murder mysteries, auto-biographies, and dystopian end-of-the World Series.
Last year, my goal was to hit 100, which would double my 2022 list of 49 books read. With the momentum of how much I am reading right now, it definitely feels achievable. So 100 is the goal for 2024. I have a full holds shelf on my Libby app and 2-3 physical books in my room that I need to read, so I’m off to a great start.
Looking forward to learning, creating fantasy movies in my mind based on the books, and overall just the journey of discovering new books and authors that I enjoy.
