Reading List 2018

[yuuago]

The resolution is to read 50 books this year. I've divided them up into categories/sub-goals.

For the "World fiction" section, authors count if they are from anywhere other than Canada, USA, or England. "Misc" section is for anything that doesn't fit the set categories. Repeating authors will be avoided until 10 from the section they apply to is reached.

Visual list can be found at Goodreads.
