Maybe! And congrats on finishing your goodreads challenge!
I think I will go for 20 again even though I might not even achieve it this year.

Nice to finish your goals, though, isn't it Alice? And I definitely know what you mean about glutting easily on the 1st person PoVs.
I liked the sound of The Gauguin Connection until you said it was in 1st person, but I don't really want to face another one of those right now.
I don't have anything for next year, still trying to figure out this year.

@Julez: thanks!
you can pick up shorter books if the number is important. or just go with quality over quantity! ;)
@Akili: it's nice to reach a mark, especially if it's visualized :)
I'm just trying to not stack books with similar elements after each other, if that's something I can foresee. in The Gauguin Connection this point of view amplifies the protagonist's reactions and thought process. it could have been achieved with a 3rd person limited but at least the choice made sense
in the other book, it didn't serve any real purpose. it's surprisingly a default point of view for romances with hints of own wish-fulfillment. not that it's bad, I'm just not sure that all authors choosing 1st pov do so consciously
@Ghost: you'll only have support in this thread! (or the 2019 one)
talking to people here is a much better reading motivator than just a number as a goal, that's for sure

Yeah, I think so. And I think I am around 20 now and not close to finishing any more.
