Hi guys! In the great year of 2019, I was able to read 55 books! This year, as homework is going to get more dense, I am going to start with a goal of 52 books, one for each week. If I get on a role, I may end up increasing it. I also would like to read 18,000 pages. (Not sure how realistic this is.) On this thread, I will use TBR for Total books read and NOP for Number of pages. If you have a book suggestion, feel free to let me know. I enjoy many genres, including sports, mysteries, sports-mysteries, suspense, thriller, and much more! Also feel free to comment/reply if you have read a book I have read, and what you thought. I will also share some quotes I encounter in my books! ENJOY!!!
