Lets face it… my goal of reading 24 books this year was pretty ambitious considering last year I read 12 and that was the most I’d finished in a year for as long as I could remember. Even so, I started out on fire, well ahead of pace. However, as my life got busier and busier - plus a couple of months of just not feeling up to reading in my spare time - I’ve fallen way off, and 24 books seems a little out of reach.
