Summary:
I've had a busy month in December, but I'm still impressed with how much I've read. 2023 has been a great year, and I can't wait to see what 2024 brings! I have decided I'm not going to do any challenges next year, and will focus more on what I want to read rather than hitting targets. I do hope to bring up my NetGalley ratio though.
How have you done this month? Let me know below.
