This year was a f**k trumpet, knobhead, dickweasel tw*t of a year, and may the thunderc**t piss off into oblivion at the strike of midnight, never to be seen again. And I’m only saying this because I’m a lady.
I started January with a plan to complete a 52 books reading challenge, but unfortunately life, the pandemic and my Labrador retriever level attention span got in the way and I managed to finish only half of what I’d planned to read.
The good things that happened:
- I became obsessed with the All the Game series

- I had the privilege of being a beta for the Mortal and Divine series

- I’ve finally read the Raven Cycle

- I picked my courage and DNFed Gormengast after 15 years of trying to finish reading this snail paced brick

- I became pleasantly surprised with Honeytrap by Aster Glenn Gray

- I broke my curse of DNFing every single mystery read until 2020 by reading Charlie Adhara and Jordan L. Hawk

The not-so-good things that happened:
-My free time was pulverized by work and for weeks at the time I couldn’t even spend 30 minutes listening to an audiobook
-I had to bail on my friends’ buddy reads many times
– I couldn’t write anything because my mind was cluttered with work stuff
May 2021 bring you all better books, better times and a better world.
How was your 2020 reading wise?
