2018 Wrap Up Post
Hope you all have a Happy New Years! Thanks again for following 🙂 Below you will find my wrap-up post for 2018.
This year I ended up reading 319 books …which is kind of crazy. My goal was 250 books, which I hit but my push to take my TBR pile down drove me to read a lot more.. So it was a great year for reading. You can go to the full list of books read here. I have also broken them down into category below by genre and age group.
I focused mostly on book reviews and reading challenges this year (about 5-7 per week).
If there is anything you would like to see more of next year? Please comment and let me know!

TBR Pile:
I greatly succeeded in my goal to reduce my TBR pile this year, it was a major effort. I ended 2017 with 174 books in my TBR pile. I ended this year with 35 books in my TBR pile. Yay!!! I am actually going to be at a point where I can get a book and read it and not have a TBR pile! It is a great feeling 🙂 Below is a chart of my progress since 2012.
