My 2020 Reading Goal
My Goodreads challenge reading goal is 100 books this year. This is my largest challenge ever, but I’m really feeling it this year.
I am technically behind schedule, but I’m not worried. I’ve been reading really long books so they’re taking me a while.
And behind or not, I’ve already read 39 books this year which is pretty damn good if you ask me.
What I Read in June 2020
