Reading Observations for 2021I didn't read anything during the first half of February due to anhedonia and depression. I also think my reading choice(s) exacerbated the problem.
Wow, this is a well organized thread :)!

More...
1. Read at least 24 books. This is low because the rest of my goals are probably too lofty.
2. Participate in the Fly the PBT Skies, Pursue It! Book It! Track It!, and Unofficial Trim challenges.
3. Read a book for each tag. I know I can find a book I like no matter the tag.
4. Read at least 50% of my IRL book club books. But! I'm going to give myself an out. If I'm not interested in the books, I'm not going to force myself to read them. Life's too short to read books I don't enjoy or put me in a slump.
5. Read 3,000 pages from books at least 500 pages or longer.
6. Read books on "Personal Interest Plan to Read List."
