When I set my reading goal this summer, I expected to only finish 25 books during the rest of the year. After blogging more and seeing so many wonderful book reviews, I couldn’t help but read past my goal! By the end of the summer, I increased my goal to 50 books. However, I also exceeded my new goal and read 67 books in 2016! I can’t wait to see what amazing books 2017 will bring.
