My public reading goal for 2018 is 108 books but I’d really like to hit that elusive number 120 this year. I keep an Excel spreadsheet to track the titles along with other information that helps me keep my reading varied. At the end of the year, I enjoy charting different categories and figuring out how my reading has changed from one year to another. According to my records, I’ve read 94 books so far in 2018 (although my Goodreads tracker says 95 and I don’t know where the discrepancy occurred). Listed below are some of the books I am planning to tackle in October.
