soelo tries for 50 in 4 months

I hit 89 books at the end of August this year and decided to try to get in another 50 books by the end of 2025. I have read 18 books in the 55 days since then. If I keep to that rate, I'll only reach 40 books. But, I just got laid off! This was a long time coming and I am very lucky that it isn't a crisis for me. I plan to take advantage of the extra time I'll have after my last day to get to 50.
