In 2023, I surpassed my reading goal of 52 books, ending the year with 62 reads. From the series conclusion to "Inheritance Games" in January to the delightful space adventure of "Seventh Grade Vs. the Galaxy" in December, choosing monthly favorites was a delightful challenge.

While I did enjoy a lot of what I was reading it wasn't what I wanted… Continue reading Reading Year in Review
Reading. It seems like I always make these huge reading plans and then I don't actually get anywhere close to meeting them. It is funny because I go through these moments where I devour all the words I possibly can then all of the sudden I want nothing to do with books. I go… Continue reading 2020 Summer Reading Plans

Alright, so I know that I said I wasn't going to set any big overarching goals for 2020 but I am making one exception to that rule.
