I tried again to read 52 books this year. I suspect I didn't make it due to our trying to move this summer as well as taking 2 bible studies, which uses my "reading" time up. But I made it to 34, which is perfectly respectable. There were a lot of historical fiction and "harder" books this year as well, I noticed, mostly due to the book club selections.
