Casey | 141 comments 12 Fiction / 13 Non-Fiction

I ended the year at only half my Goal of 50, but I am ok with that. I read some longer books which took up time, and am still reading 1,000 pager which I won't finish till next year which has also been time consuming. I did want to read half fiction/half non-fiction and of my 25 I did accomplish that.
