This post is a couple of days late because I’ve just spent a couple of hours going through my Kindle and updating “My Books” on Goodreads.
But I can now confirm that I have completed my main goal of reading 150 books in 2023.
I also had some sub-goals:
Read 48+ books from my to-read pile
Oops … I managed four. On the plus side, I have read almost every book I’ve bought this year.
Read 40+ books from debut or new-to-me authors
I’ve read 40+ books if you count books by authors I hadn’t read before 2023. However, I read multiple books from some authors, so I’ve only read books from 34 new authors.
Read 40+ books from non-US authors
I’ve only read 14 books by international authors (I must have misclassified some. Surely. Either that, or it really is difficult to find international authors). I have read and enjoyed a lot more self-published fiction than in previous years.
Read 12+ books from BIPOC authors
I’ve finished seven books from BIPOC authors, so I need to find some more!
Read 18+ nonfiction books
I’ve apparently only read 6 nonfiction titles 🙁
