For the last three years, my yearly reading goal has been to read fifty books. In 2021, I cut it close, in 2022 I didn’t have a problem at all*, and this year I was pulling rabbits from hats to finish.
*And apparently, didn’t even blog about it.
But finish I did and now I can brag to myself about having met my goal.
Yippie.
Of those fifty books, here are the highlights:
