In 2019, my goal is to read 43 books. My goal for 2018 was 56, which I feel wasn't the most realistic goal with everything else I had planned for the year. I have finished 37 (I think) and I'm guessing I will end the year at 40.
To be honest, I am probably posting the reading list prematurely because - BELIEVE IT OR NOT - I don't have my 2019 goals all planned out yet, meaning I have no clue if I will have time to read 43 books. (Knowing me, I strongly suspect I will not.) I have some ideas, but they aren't finalized. I will tell you that I have determined the four categories in which I have tentatively set 12 goals. This reading list will be the first goal in my Learning & Self-Improvement category.
Once again, I have divided the list into monthly goals. And once again, I'm fairly sure given what I already know about some plans for next year, this monthly organization means nothing.
Anyway, here goes (yes, some of these are books I didn't finish in 2018...whoopsie):
