This year I set myself a challenge to read 100 books. At first, I was hesitant, and then I thought I would easily make it, and then I hit my book slump and thought I would finish the year 5 books short. But, I did it! I rallied and finished my challenge, and I'm going to exceed my goal once again! I have read series, standalones, novellas, and everything in between. In total, 33,226 pages. This year, I have read books that didn't do much for me, but I also read books that I will read a million times over. So here is my year of books.

The bold ones are the books I most enjoyed this year. Some of them were re-reads, but most of them were new to me and I am so glad I discovered so many wonderful books this year.
Just because I've reached my goal doesn't mean I'm going to stop reading. In fact, I'm almost done with my 101st book. And I'm excited to set my goal for next year higher, but not by much probably.
