2016 Goodreads Challenge – COMPLETED!!

In 2016 I committed to reading 50 books. Because I am a moron.

Now ordinarily, that wouldn’t be an issue. It doesn’t even amount to a book per week. However, I am a Ph.D. student. Free time is not something I have a great deal of, and most of the reading I do for that is in the form of articles. However, I have carved out a 30- to 45-minute time slot in my weekday mornings specifically for reading material unrelated to my studies, which is almost beyond the realms of comprehension, I can’t even describe it to you. Also, I am counting the books I read (in entirety) for my studies towards this challenge, because they’re still books!

The books I read for my Goodreads challenge can be found here, but just in case, I’ll also list them below. Enjoy 🙂
