In 2017, I set out to read 84 books. This equates to 7 books a month, something that felt like a lofty goal when I set it. I somehow surpassed this goal, partially thanks to the help of starting a few podcasts in 2017. My goal in 2018 is to expand my non-fiction, short story, and poetry readings. And maybe a drama or two.

Below I break down everything I read! If you have any questions about any books read, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
