Overall Thoughts/Reflections/Musings/Ideas
I think 2017 was a good reading year. I surpassed my page and book number targets. I also knocked off a ton of books that either sat on my unread shelves or had been on my TBR for what seemed like forever. I didn't do much rereading. However, I think the fact that over half of my reads ended up being 4 or 5 star reads, I'm okay not rereading. I've got my January stack of books all ready to dive in and get 2018 started.
