2023 Reading Challenge

 For 2023 I set my Goodreads Reading Challenge book count to 200.  This is because I was planning on rereading or reading for the 1st time a number of Children's and Young Adult books for the year, things like favorite books from when I was younger and books I missed on reading as they came out after I was the intended age for them, and ones that when the kids were younger they were not interested in. Also I thought I would try and read the main America Girls books in mostly chronological order of when the stories take place. 

So because of this, there will be a number of kids books in this year's book list, and the reviews/summaries may be even shorter than normal, as writing that many ones is a bit much. 

Change in book counting:

I have decided to change up our book count method.  As you might have noticed in the past I have only noted the number of physical books that I have read.  But there are a number of books that are full length books, but I read on an e-book format and so I did not count it, making my book count much lower then it really was. So for now on I will count both full length e-books and physical books under the book count.  And then list all the things that I read either as a physical book count, or an e-book count, even if the e-book is a novella.  So my book count will be the number of full length books that I have read in the year, as well as a count of the number of physical books and e-books that I have read in the year.
