Reviewing My 7 Book Reading Goals for 2020

November 24, 2020 By Ben McEvoy

As we near the end of a strange, tumultuous year, I’m looking back on the goals I set for my reading this time last year.

Did I hit them?

Did you hit your book reading goals?

I’ve put timestamps to the different goals below the video.
