I’ve done it, folks. I’ve taken a big swing this time and I really hope it connects. I’ve just set my 2019 Goodreads Challenge for 100 books!
One hundred books in one year!
The Goodreads Challenge has been a core part of my year since this day in 2017, and their “52 books a year” baseline has proved a real inspiration to me. It’s why, in part, I was so pleased to join Byron in this book review blog in the first place.
