Once again, I aspire to read 100 books in a year. I did it last year, with a grand total of 141 books under my belt, and I'm confident I can do it again this year. You can follow me on my Goodreads account to keep track of my books read, and what I felt about them. www.goodreads.com/user/show/2524799
