I wanted to review at least 100 works by POC. So close! 

Assuming I review the same number of books in 2021 as I did in 2020 (which, granted, given 2021’s zombie apocalypse, World Wars III through X, alien invasion, and that thing we will agree never to mention could be tricky), I should hit review 2000 for the site in the last week of December 2021. I should think about what book I want that to be. But I probably won’t.
