Reading Challenge: Reading by the Numbers 2023

 I'm going for several new challenges this year, and one of them is the Reading by the Numbers Challenge.  It's a very simple challenge, create a goal number of books you'll aim to read this year and then read.  Any type of book counts.

I'm going to set my initial goal to 100, which is also going to be my initial goal at Goodreads this year.  I'll probably update my goal in the fall, and I'm come back and update this goal when I do as well.

July 20th Update - I'm upped my challenge to 120 since I'm at 72 for the year already.
