Elena's 80 books in 2016

[Elena]

My goal for 2016 is to read at least 80 books. In 2015 I read 115 books, but since I've recently started working I did not want to put too much pressure on myself, so I set a lower goal. Hopefully, if I see I'm doing good I'll increase my goal as the year goes on.

August update: I've decided to upgrade my goal to 100 books.

124/100
