So, I didn’t do very well with the reading challenges this year – I’m putting that down to the DC trip and being away from the tbr and trying not to buy books. I’ve got loads of books that fit missing categories, but I just wasn’t around to read them and let things slide. Hey ho, it was worth it. I’m going to be more selective about what I do with regards to reading challenges this year. On the bright side, I did manage to only buy myself one book in December, which is pretty good. I bought lots of books for other people, but resisted the urge to buy for myself. Obviously next month there’s going to be a tweaked format to the stats post because there always is at this time of year!
If you missed my end of year look back posts: obsessions, revisiting 2017 obsessions and best books of the year are all behind this post down the feed (or on the links).
