One of my life goals has been to read 52 books in a year, but I figured I would be retired before I got to that level. My previous high was 38 books in 2012, but it looks like I am on pace to finish 52 books in 2018!

Question for the avid readers and counters out there:
Do you have a minimum page limit for what counts as a book? I am trying to decide whether to count books that are less than 150 pages.

Here are my books thus far:

In addition, I listened to one audiobook this year, but I am not counting it.
