I'm working on number 46 right now. I don't have a firm number for the year but I'd like to make an even 60. Tons of books I've chosen are pretty long and/or detailed. Fairly happy with choices so far but few crazy standouts.

“You can have your wishes, your plans, but at the end of the day, it's out of your control"
- Gayle Forman
"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
- Neil Gaiman
