a reading checkpoint
While I was on track to break that goal back in March (I believe I was 16 books in at that point), I fell off a bit from reading the past few months. But summer is the perfect time to lounge around with a book and I fully intend to take advantage of that. I've listed the books I've read (with some faves italicized), and those I plan to read in the rest of 2018.
