Hi ,

100 Books in 2023

A couple of years ago, I started doing the Goodreads Reading Challenge. It's simple—I set a yearly reading goal for myself, and throughout the year, I track how close I am. I can adjust the goal as needed. This is about having fun reading, not getting stressed about a goal.

This year, I hit a milestone I doubt I've ever hit before (as an adult, anyway): 100 books read!

The number of books you read really doesn't matter ... one book a year or one hundred. I did enjoy seeing that number though!

I'm thankful for the escape and relaxation reading provides. I'm thankful for my family. I'm thankful for you, my readers. And while I try to always be grateful, I'm more focused on it right now, since tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the U.S. If you celebrate, I hope you have an extra-great, extra-grateful Thanksgiving.
