You did great on your challenges and read a ton of good books. I love it!
You had a good December.
Nice work making your goals! Looks like despite the trip, you got in several books. Congrats and Happy New Year!
Thanks! Yes, there was lots of time for reading by the pool.
Wow, you read a lot of books in December! I’m eyeing that Charly Cox mystery seeing you gave it 5 stars.
That entire series is truly amazing, but the crimes are quite disturbing. I’d recommend to read them in order.
20 is a fantastic number especially considering you went on vacation! Congrats on making your goals.
Thanks!
Lots of great books, a few that we had the same ones!
