Newsflash: 2018 is half-way through.

Yeeeaahh… let that sink in for a moment.

Did you make any resolutions to read more this year?

Did you set any particular goals?

Are you on track to meet your goals?

Have you read anything ground-breaking in 2018?

In my 2017 Reading Wrap-Up post, I set the following goals for 2018:

1. Read more nonfiction (2017 total: 3);
2. Read more historical fiction (2017 total: 5); and
3. Read 75 books (2017 total: 63).

So far, I am on track as far as the total number of books goes, but I am not reading nearly enough nonfiction! I have read:

• 2 nonfiction books;
• 6 historical fiction novels; and
• 36 books in total.

Do you have any recommendations for nonfiction? I need your help!
