forestofgloryIt’s been a mixed reading year for me so far. This winter I was tired and sick a lot and didn’t have great focus. So I ended up reading a lot comics and manga since I find that easier to read. So by the numbers I have read a lot of books already this year: 67 total. 49 of those are some kind of sequential art -- and reading lots sequential art has been pretty great. I finally finished reading Fruits Basket which I started but never finished year and years ago. I read the first two volumes of Fence, and Lucy Knisley’s new graphic memoir. I tried a bunch of new to me manga series, some of which I really enjoyed.
Well the 1st quarter of 2019 is complete so it's time to do a check in with my reading. After I didn’t do very well on my reading goals for 2018 I decided to set relatively few simple goals for this year. So when with two goals. Let see how I’m doing with both of them
Goal 1: Read 30 books by non-white authors. stretch goal 40
So far I’ve read 39 books by non-white authors in 2019. So I’ve already succeeded at my base goal and have almost met my stretch goal! As mentioned above
Goal 2: Read 15 non-fiction books
So far I’ve read 6, mostly comics, and also one prose book which was mostly read in 2018. But I did just finish a prose nonfiction book. So I guess I’m on track for this goal too.
Anyways I deliberately set myself easy goals and I’m doing pretty well one them. So for now I’m going to just keep reading fun things that strike my fancy. I’m looking forward to reading more manga and I’ve got a copy of The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie to read when I’m feeling focused enough for a whole novel.
How is your reading going so far this year? If you set yourself reading goals are you happy with your progress on them? Read any really awesome things?
