2018 in books

This year I read 8486 pages. My longest book was The Pillars of the Earth at 973 pages. My shortest book was Our Bloody Pearl at 200 pages. Apparently Pillars is also a very popular read (a little over 600,000 people have read it). 

The first book I reviewed this year was by Kathy Reichs. The last book was by Maggie Stievater, Tessa Gratton, and Briana Yovanoff.  My average star rating this year was a 2.8/5. I ran into some real duds this year. 

I also read 23 books out of a goal of 1 this year. I always set my goal to 1 to take the stress off. I never know how busy I will be, so why set unrealistic goals that are guaranteed to piss me off and stress me out.
