Reading Stats 2024 // Quarter 3

I've been consumed by reading this year, which is all I could have hoped for. I've read way more than I ever thought I would. I've been looking at my past reading years, and I am kind of hoping I reach my 2016 page count, which was 42,405 pages (my second-highest number of pages read). …

October TBR List // Witches, Vampires, and Surviving Your Own Murder

I took a break in September since I had way too many programs I was preparing for. I still have a bunch of programs and displays I have to do but I finally feel like reading again. I've already read three middle grade books and I'm going for more in October. I'm also reading a Halloween…
