I know that generally if I write out a TBR or reading goals or whatever, I don't stick to it. But I need to figure out what I have left on my outstanding piles and what I actually feel like reading, so post! My progress will be updated as I read more through the 2019 Reading Challenge widget embedded into this in terms of pure number, but I hope to have more update and progress reports for the goals I listed below!
2019 Reading Goals + TBR
2019 Reading Goals

- Current Total: 20/75
- Am I 1:1? 20/54 (37%)
- At least 50 poetry collections. I read 39 last year and want to increase that little by little every year. Poetry adds so much to everyone's lives and I need more of it in mine.

- Current Total: 14,786/108,000
- 30 books outside my comfort zone. I tend to read a lot of YA, specifically Fantasy, so I would like to expand beyond that into more New Adult, Romance, Mystery, etc.
