30 is a really great number Joanne!!! I hope you have a great reading year!!!

30 is much higher than the what the average American adult reads per year. Pew research center pegs the average number of books as 12, so you are going for more than double that! There is enough stress in the world without adding an artificial 'reading obligation' to your life. Read what (and however much) you enjoy, enjoy what (and however much) you read. And if you occasionally stop and sniff them, so much the better, lol!

Oh no! What a bummer! But you know, life is too short to read books you're not enjoying! The older I get, the easier it is for me DNF!
