Well, I managed to hit my reading goal last year, but I did it just barely. Literally finished my last audiobook on the very last day of the year and added all my backlogged reads to goodreads. As far as the blog, 2023 was an absolute utter failure that we will attempt to ignore. New Year’s Resolution? Just resolve to pretend 2023 didn’t happen at all. But 2024 I’m starting fresh and starting new goals for myself. While I’m still doing the 52 book goodreads challenge, I’m also doing a 2024 custom reading challenge. Half of my books this year will have to come from the following categories. I’ll periodically pop in to update my progress and link the applicable reviews like I did a couple of years ago. Without further ado…
