I made the 50 book part of my goal however I read only 7/10 books that were specifically named. I read many books that were on my "TBR" list that weren't mentioned in the list of ten. I feel good that I did get so many books off of my TBR list. I will add the three I didn't get read to my next year's list and keep going!
