What I’m Reading {2015}

I’ve said before that for six years or so I’ve set a goal with my reading. For many years that goal was 100, and I’d usually exceed it by a dozen or so. In 2012, I decided to up the goal to 150, and in 2013 I upped it further to 200 (and exceeded it!).

In early 2014, though, I’ll be welcoming a tiny babe into the world. I hear that babies make one a wee bit busy, so I’ll be bumping my reading goal back down to 150;)
