One of my favorite things about the end of the year is looking back at what I read and whether or not I met my reading goals for the year... and I did!
Goal: Read 35 Books. 
✔️ I read 45! That's 16,358 pages total, and 3,742 more than last year. Woohoo!! Next year... 45 again?!

Goal: Read mostly female authors and writers of color. ✔️ 42/45 books were written by women, and 15/45 were written by POC. Definitely room to grow, but pretty proud of that, too. Next year - increase my support of diverse authors and storytelling.

Goal: Read more non-fiction. ✔️ 16/45 books this year were non-fiction/memoir which is 4x as many as last year, which I am proud of, though let's be honest, it skews a bit more memoir than analytical. Next year, more analysis, and more variety in general. Maybe more poetry? More development books? Definitely more by non-American authors. I'll never lose my love for fiction, memoir, or fantasy, but I'd like to expand a bit more beyond these genres.
