I'm not sure I'm going to any reading challengesor goals this year. I did complete my 540 book goal for the.year with a couple of books over.
I realized that reading so many stories back to back that I've hardly written any reviews. I find that sad. I don't want it to be like that.
I am pretty positive that this new year that I'm going to read probably fast still but I'm going to write a review on've every book I've read. I know it helps the authors and the readers.
That's my goal for the new yr anyway. I bbc.co hope I can do it.
