Last year, I managed to achieve my goal (80) despite some challenges (MLIS coursework definitely among them), but largely because, as I've been preaching my way through the Book of Genesis and rounded the end of chapter 11 late last year, I naturally finished many commentaries devoted specifically to the Primeval History section. I won't have that advantage this year.
Actually, if my progress to date is any indication, I likely should have lowered my expectations somewhat! Nevertheless, I'm going to hope I can hit 80 this year anyway, even though I'm no longer confident it's realistic. (My saving grace may be a sabbatical I'm desperately hoping for later in the year... but we'll see.)
I begin, then, with the following:
