I’m Reading in 2019

So far in 2019, I’ve completed 52 books — the goal for the year is 84.

Each quarter of the year I’ve averaged 17 books to this point yet in the final quarter of 2019, I need 32 to reach my goal.

At this time in 2016, I had completed 0 books.

At this time in 2017, I had completed 11 books.

At this time in 2018, I had completed 91 books.

The goals are different this year than they have been in years past.

Last year the goal was to double the CEO average of 60 books a year — I aimed for 120 and finished 118.

The previous year, in 2017, the goal was 30 books in the final 6 months of the year — on pace with the reported average for CEOs.

In 2016 I had no reading goal.

Growing up, I used to read often.

We had reading competitions in class and me and Izzy Mraz would usually be first and second in those competitions. She loved reading and I love winning.

My mom was and still is an avid reader and we would read together nightly growing up.
