I made it! I actually read fifty two books this year! Thank goodness for that last trip to Asheville--audiobooks save the day.

I'll admit that some of these titles are fluff, but hey, I'm fine with that. My favorite of the year? Elena Ferrante's final Neapolitan Novel, The Story of the Lost Child and Alexandra Fuller's Leaving Before the Rains Come.

Least favorite? The First Bad Man by Miranda July. God awful I'm afraid.

I counted a few children's middle grade chapter books...boo, I know, but hey, they were first time reads for me! And decent lengths...

Also have a graphic novel in there...

I've got a couple weeks left, so I might even push beyond the goal. I can't believe it!
