It’s been an interesting year in reaching my 50 book goal for Goodreads. While my challenge has been completed, my reading is not. Last year I reached 74 and I plan to try to hit at least 70 again. I hope you enjoy them!
I have grown as a reviewer throughout the year, so some reviews may not be very satisfying… but they get better as the year goes on and will only get better. I am not a fan of long reviews, so I try to make mine somewhat short and vague with enough information to intrigue you to read them.
