I usually can read 80 books/year. Because of commitments I have next year, I'm hoping to get 40 read. But I'll plant my flag here.

I stopped using this thread about halfway through the year, this year. I started tracking my reading via a spreadsheet from Book Riot, I think? It makes pretty graphs and charts for me, but I still miss posting here. I'm going to shoot for 110 books this year. (Same goal as this year and I beat that by about 15.)
