I managed to reach four of the ten goals. I managed to reach not just 48 US States, but to complete all of them after a fantastic trade with RobertDale during the summer. In September as part of a trip to US, I managed to get two new Canadian provinces after a trade with jtclockwork. I also managed to complete my 5-of-style and 10-of-style goals after some purchases from Total Wine.

All three goals related to the books I failed on, but then I decided to not prioritise these goals either in the end. I did pretty well on the country goal, but only managed to get 13 instead of 16. I also just manage to get hold of one of the three I was missing for the 2-of-style goal. And related to the Top-50 Style rating goal, even if I managed to tick a few, some of the ones I had already done fell out of the Top 50 so I still have eight left...
