For anyone curious: I chose 60 because BlackPink's most recent single "Lovesick Girls" is 3 minutes, 12 seconds long. I added 3 + 1 + 2 = 6 and decided 60 would fit. Lol, I feel like enjoying the process of reading is more important than quantity of books read. Anyway, between working on my dissertation, teaching two classes this year, clinical work, and all my outside of work stuff, wish me luck (and I'm wishing everyone else luck on their reading goals)! :)

You have read some really impressive titles so far, Thomas! I have no doubt you will make your goal of 60!
You're more than half way there! You can do it!! Seek all the magic in life, for it's always there.

woah that's so thoughtful. Love when people tell their strory over why they choose a certain number!! I am plenty late but All the best.
Thank you so much for all the support everyone! I chose 60 to be safe because I defended my dissertation in May and am in the process of applying for internship (Ph.D. in Psychology equivalent of med school residency) so I wasn't sure if I'd have time to read, however. I guess I made time. :) So appreciate the Goodreads community's supportiveness!
I don't understand how you read all these books and successfully finished grad school!! Youre amazing! Congrats!
Congratulations on the reading, but more important everything else you have accomplished this year!
Thank you so much everyone for your kind words! In terms of how I read this many books, I generally 1) don't watch TV so that time goes to reading books, 2) utilize reading books as self-care, and 3) find at least a little time per day to read. The incentive to leave reviews here on GR and connect with folks is helpful too. Yay reading!
Congrats on all your accomplishments this year! You are my *reading goals*. <3
Awww that means so much Manki, thank you! Hope you're doing well both within and beyond reading. :)
