In 2019, I set myself the reading goal of 52 books. I did it! I focused on fiction. Much in translation. The 2019 pile of read books 👇🏽 This year I am also reading poetry and non-fiction as well as novels. 
This year, because I’ve added poetry books - which are often slimmer than the novels I read for last years goal - I will probably read more than a book per week. I’ve read more than 20 books so far this year. Including 👇🏽
The non-fiction has included memoir and cultural criticism as well as a graphic novel/biography
I had planned at the start of the year - before #COVID and lockdowns - to include more poetry in my reading. To complete a collection rather than just dip in. And wow am I glad I did.

I am reading this right now
