2019 reads

This year I decided to track my reading throughout the year (of course I also tried to track each month by goals and awesome events, but that didn't work out so well).  Tracking the books I read was more of a success though- I actually did it throughout the entire year (thanks to Goodreads for helping). And yes, I get that writing it down when I have a GoodReads account may be redundant, but I don't care. It makes me happy.
