As I do every year, I’m sharing some of my book goals and aspirations. I love doing this every year as it not only keeps me accountable but you fine people always recommend such AWESOME reads.</p><p>But before we get into what I hope to be dabbling into, let’s talk about how 2018 went in terms of reading.</p><p>For one thing…I met my <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/38799919-brittany\" target=\"_blank\">GoodReads</a> goal of 50 books read. I actually went over by 4! Color me surprised! I didn’t think I’d make the goal considering I did very little reading between Spring and Summer.</p><p>Last year’s focus was biographies. I wanted to consume as many as I could. I read 15. Of all of the books that I read, many wanted to know what my favorites were. That includes the following:</p><p>Becoming – Michelle Obama</p><p>The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers – Maxwell King</p><p>Allegedly – Tiffany D. Jackson</p><p>Anonymous Acts – Christina C. Jones</p><p>Heads of the Colored People – Nafissa Thompson-Spires</p><p>Educated – Tara Westover</p><h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em><strong>B, what’s the key to getting through books quickly?</strong></em></h3><p>Sometimes when I tell people I’ve read over 50 books in a year, they step back in awe and question how I find the time. The thing is this – I make time. I limit my endless scrolling on social media and pick up a book. While I’m driving or cleaning, I’m listening to an audiobook. Before I get out of bed, I spend a good 10 minutes going through a book. So that I actually look forward to what I’m reading, I only read books that catch my interest quickly. If it doesn’t catch me in a few chapters, I pick something else. If it’s too slow, I move on. Datssit.</p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20271 lazyload\" src=\"https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560.jpg\" alt=\"2019 books\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560.jpg 1200w, https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560-108x72.jpg 108w, https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560-542x361.jpg 542w, https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"/></p><noscript><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20271 lazyload\" src=\"https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560.jpg\" alt=\"2019 books\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560.jpg 1200w, https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560-108x72.jpg 108w, https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560-542x361.jpg 542w, https://www.clumpsofmascara.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC_1560-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"/></noscript><p>Here’s my long list and I’ll be sure to update it throughout the year.</p><p>What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker – Damon Young</p><p>The Wedding Date – Jasmine Gillory</p><p>How I Resist: Activism and Hope for the Next Generation – Maureen Johnson</p><p>If You See Me, Don’t Say Hi – Neel Patel</p><p>Black Listed – Jeffrey Boakye</p><p>Nine Perfect Strangers – Liane Moriarty</p><p>Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive – Stephanie Land</p><p>Sing, Unburied, Sing – Jesmyn Ward</p><p>How Long ‘Til Black Future Month – N.K.
