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:

52. The Light of Fireflies by Paul Pen
I met my goal! I'll probably read 1-2 more books before the end of the year.
