And the weirdness of the latter half of 2022 continues. I have written exactly zero book reviews in the past three months. AND I haven’t read Nona the Ninth yet, even though I bought it on release day.
In my defense, this has been the actual worst year of my life. Also I got really into cross-stitching, which is possibly my new favorite hobby. (sorry not sorry, books.)
Anyhoo. 2023 is right around the corner. Here’s hoping for better things! So here’s my November and December retrospective, featuring statistics, goals check-in, and more!
