In addition to working on reading more non-white, non-US people I think I also need to spread out books by when they were written. I'm also thinking of tracking book genre for next year, beyond just fiction vs. non. Let's see what happens.

Also there should be some big changes happening at What Red Read soon. Stay tuned.

HAPPY 2014, EVERYONE!
