These are my provisional 2024 goals:
Length Goals:
- Total Books: 50 (stretch goal of 75)
- Total Pages: 15,000 (stretch of 20,000)
- Read 25 books from my ETBR (stretch of 50)
- Read from Print-TBR: 10
Substantive Goals: - Read at least 51% non-American authors
- Read more female/nonbinary authors than male authors
- Read at least 52 short stories
- Read at least 52 poems
- Read at least 10 books across all our collections that are selected by my wife. It's a great way to read things I would not ordinarily do, and I almost always end up enjoying them. List of books will be added as soon as my wife selects them.
