I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

You did great! Congratulations on completing your goals, I wasn't quite so lucky, but I had fun :)

To get over 1,000 pages is awesome! That amount of pages is my goal every RAT but I don't always make it, although I did this time around. :) Looks like some great reads too!

Wow. You did great! Never heard of any of the books so perhaps I should check them out on goodreads. Love your blog name ;-)
