Reading-related things

yuuagoThe year ain't over yet, but I'm already thinking about next year's reading goals.
+ This year I intended to get through a lot of my unread books so I can finish them and (if not something I'll re-read) get them out of the house. I did manage that - however, every time I go to drop off something at a Little Library, I end up picking up one or two more from there, so I've unfortunately ended up with more than I had at the beginning. Oops.
+ I think I'll try to read more nonfiction by women next year. A lot of the fiction that I read is by women, but with nonfiction I think I'm less likely to find it when browsing at random, so it wouldn't hurt to be deliberate about it for a while. I don't know if I'll set a specific number to aim for tho'. (Recs welcome. I'm open to most subjects, but tend to gravitate toward history, biography/memoirs, and anything LGBT2QA-related.)
+ Might be fun to try reading more fiction in translation, too. (Not including manga in this. :P ) There are a lot of novels by Japanese authors on my to-read list in the library's system, but I'll have to see what else they have available too.
