2024 Reading Stats

Last year was my trial-and-error year.

November TBR List // Book Competitions, Monster Hunters, and Princesses

In August I posted a list of books I wanted to read by the end of the year and I confidently said I would get to half. I am not close to half. However, I will still give it a go and commit to that list (not including ARCs or book club books). I also want to review books from past projects these las…
