75! That's quite a goal. I'll be cheering you on, and I suspect the amazement will continue to be at "high". Any favorites coming your way? I am working on a few that deal with healing, and I admit that I do not read through those quickly; instead, I need to read them with personal reflection as I recognize my own healing or contrast my own experiences as I discover what comes in those pages. Participating in my first short story challenge at the end of January, I've also started to explore various short stories and mixed genre collections. A few novels wait patiently on my shelf, too. The one I'm most looking forward to reading is _Four Seasons in Five Senses: Things Worth Savoring_ . Well, back to my current book of collected stories / styles. . . .

Thank you! I made it to 69 in 2017, so am hoping I can hit 75 this year. My room mate did point out if I could add how ever many times I had to read my own book I may have actually hit the 75.

No favorites planned--but I know I'll have at least one or two re-reads of things from my permanent book shelf. I also have a few favorite authors I want to work my way through their whole collection, but that's ambitious. Neil Gaiman, Paulo Coelho, and I think I'll revisit Cynthia Voigt too.

A short story challenge is very exciting. I've never participated in one of those. Let me know how the Four seasons in 5 senses is. That's a very intriguing title.
