Congrats on reading so many books over the previous year. I managed to get in 33, which was more than double my goal. We read a few of the same ones, and I’ve taken a few titles off your list to try to get to later in the year. If you’re interested in the books I read, http://bit.ly/2iskTmm This year I’m aiming for 25 and hope to surpass it.
