January 6, 2019
As per my goal, I read 33 books (my age) in 2018, including authors from: South Africa, Brazil, England, Italy, Pakistan, Egypt, Laguna Pueblo, and Canada. 22 (66.7%) were fiction, 13 (39.4%) were written by women, 11 (33.3%) were written by people of color, and 2 (6.1%) were translated (which needs improvement). The average year of publication was 2001, with a total page count of 7,754 pages (234.97 average pages). My average rating was 4.26.
My favorites were: Stories of Your Life (Ted Chiang), Ceremony (Leslie Marmon Silko), and Educated (Tara Westover)
