January Progress Report

 In terms of reading, this was a very successful month. I read 17 total books, 16 off the list which translates to 4113 pages or 4625 if I count the extra book. My favorite reads for the month were A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and Weight: The Myth of Atlas and Heracles by Janet Winterson. Least favorite was probably The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier.

I probably won't be able to keep up this rate, but it's still a great start to the year!
