As of today I've read 158 books the year, and will probably finish one more before the year is out.

Last year I read 173 books.

I'm not on any book challenge.

I also keep track of them in a notebook, which I've been doing for decades now. I simply break it up by months. Put down title, author, and some little synopsis or my reaction to the book. I definitely recommend the book list, no matter how few books you read a year.
