2017/2018 reading

According to Goodreads, last year I read 15,089 pages across 65 books. Pretty good, but a far cry from my personal best of 104 books. I split them into seven categories, and here are my two favorites from each:

Chick Lit (5)
Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern
Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos

Filipino (12)
Found by Isa Garcia
Smaller and Smaller Circles by F.H. Batacan

Graphic-ish Novels (2)
Blue is the Warmest Color by Julie Maroh
To Be or Not To Be by Ryan North

Nonfiction (8)
Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One Hundred Names for Love by Diane Ackerman

Poetry & Classics (8)
Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morley
I Shall Not Be Moved by Maya Angelou

Well-reviewed (7)
Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
Beartown by Fredrik Backman

Young Adult (18)
Wonder by R.J Palacio
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

*there were 5 books I couldn't put into any category, but I didn't have any favorites from them.

My 2018 Goodreads reading challenge has been set for 40 books. There are 53 unread books from those I purchased in the last three years, and there are 6 other books I've committed to buddy-read with a bookish friend. I'm sure as the year goes on my TBR will just grow longer and longer, but this year I'm trying to finish those 59 books I've committed to, without any distractions.
