The Decade Challenge
For the 2020’s, I’ve set a goal to read an ambitious 300 books during this decade. It averages out to 30 books a year, which is a 300% increase in my current yearly average. But I am thirsty for knowledge, I am starving for stories, and I can’t wait to dig deep into the world of books. Here, I’ll record every one of those 300 books I read along with thoughts and recommendations.
Hint: try clicking on some of the books – I’ve got short reviews for all of them, and if it was one I particularly liked or disliked, I may have written a long form review on the Arts blog.
