I hope to read 125 books during 2020. I hope to winnow down the number of books on my shelves. My goals include reading twenty-five books and twenty-five e-books owned as of December 31, 2019. I also have plans to read twelve ARC/giveaways as well, and thirty books from the library.

Having completed most of my goals in 2020, I am starting 2021 with several books in the process of being completed. Although it was a goal to reduce books on my shelves, I have fewer books in the e-book category, but I have more physical books since I have generous BC friends who have gifted me with books. Alas...so many books, so little time.
