Total pages read this week: 1,292

Total books read: 102 of 105

TBR: -17 (Goal is -36)

I got sick last weekend and was stuck at home for most of this week, so I did A LOT of reading. While I’ve surpassed my original reading goal, I won’t even try to reach my TBR goal for the year. Trying to finish nearly 20 books without buying a single book in two months would cause a lot of unnecessary stress. Instead, I will read what I want to read and as much or as little as I want to read for the rest of the year and try again next year.
