Hi all, I am an avid reader and I have increased my reading in the past two years or so as I have come realize that there are so many books and so little time! Goal Achieved on 5/21/23 has been a mixture of reading for pleasure with my 6 years old, works of fiction by Michael Connelly and Jack Carr as well as non-fictional works often related to my travels or what's going on in the world at this point in time.
