Last Updated: 7/05
My goal this year is to chip a way at my almost 200 books on my TBR. These consist of books I've physically obtained, added to my Libro/Chirpd/Libby, had friends/family asking me to read for a while, etc. I'll be starting a New document in my phone for any books recommended after the New Year, and those will largely be deprioritized.
I'm going to be reading quite the mish-mash of things this year as I have a lot of leftover nonfiction and classics still waiting from my previous years' goals as well as the series of books my avid reader of a sister has wanted me to read too even though our tastes have diverged a fair bit over the last few years.
