At least 52 books (graphic novels and picture books not included)
At least 20 000 pages
At least 3 books from the BBC booklist
At least 3 books by authors from countries I have not read from before
At least 3 books by Swedish, female authors
NOT buy as many books as last year (insert ridiculous number here)
These are the short story collections I own. The ones I have read so far are marked in yellow. When I acquire new collections I will add them to this list, and I will also mark the ones I have finished off. This is a way for me to keep track of the collections I own, but I would also be super happy to receive any recommendations from you guys based on the books in this list.
