Half-Year Reading Wrap-Up | Reflections on 2020 So Far

What a reading year it’s been so far! As of the end of June, I’ve read 64 books. I’ve also DNF’d 48 other books (now you see why I like the library so much). DNF, if you’re not familiar, stands for ‘did not finish’.
At the start of the year, in a post on Instagram, I outlined my hopes for my reading in the year ahead.
My reading goals at the start of this year were:
- Read a more balanced bookshelf (gender, race and ethnicity playing a role in that).
- Read more translated books
- Slow down, focus less on numerical reading goals and place priority in the titles I really want to read
- Continue to support the International Dublin Literary Award
