As with the past several years, I'm going to attempt to read a number of shorter works (primarily fiction, if the past is a guide) equal to the number of days in the year (365). These will mostly be from anthologies (single author or multiple author), as the number of periodicals that I subscribe to shrinks.
Number of Stories Read: 215 (out of 365) as of April 14, 2024.
