Mid-2020 Reading Check In

For 2020 I decided not to make any reading goals except to reevaluate my lack of goals once a quarter and see if I wanted to add some goals. Given how intense this year has turned out to be, having no reading goals has been great. I didn't do a first quarter check in but now that its almost the middle of the year I thought a check in would nice.

So here are some numbers for how my reading has been going so far in 2020

Books Read:38
Nonfiction: 7
Oldest book: Authentic Indians: Episodes of Encounter from the Late-Nineteenth-Century Northwest Coast by Paige Raibmon (2005)
Most recent book: Network Effect by Martha Wells (May 2020)
Books by non-white authors: 17
Graphic stories:15
Novellas: 10

Given everything I feel pretty good about those numbers. I have certainly read more books in other years but that's ok. Recently I've been into Chinese history and I'm not on my third book about the history of food an drink in China (the 1st two where about tea, and this one is about chiles)

Also my library is just now starting to be open for curbside pick up and I'm hoping that access to more books will make me want to read more.

Things I'd love recs for: Chinese history, Cute graphic novels, slice of life manga

How has your reading been going. Did you make any goals? If so how is that going?
