Hey! The year is not over, so I have a chance to be better at this, at least to end the year.
Now, I lowered my goal this year because I wanted to read some bigger books. I wanted to reread The Stand, which was my main reason for cutting my goal. I bought the follow up to it, The End of the World as We Know It, and had hoped to get to it. Ah well. I also wanted to reread The Talisman and Black House before the third book arrived. Alas, I failed at that as well.
