Goodbye, December!


December was another month that took forever to go through but disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was Thanksgiving and the next week was Christmas... It was a lot, but it could have been worse.


2024 Resolutions:

     (1) Don't stop reading
            (b) Complete Monthly Reading Challenge(s)
     (2) Make memories
     (3) Share love of books/writing
     (4) Be kinder to myself


(1) Books read this month: 50 (might get one more in there before midnight though).
    (b) Monthly Reading Challenge(s): Shape = Snowflake. Got some A-Z stuff recorded. Some serious ARCs. Got a LOOOT of Beat The Backlog done (go me!).

(2) December Memories: Christmas with my family. Christmas Eve with my neighbors. A few good calls in with my sister. Lots of books read. Another book edited for someone. A couple babysitting gigs. Cleaning for my grandma a few times. Food, baked goodies, hot cocoa (lots of money spent on baked goods...and presents--at least I can start saving up again now). Looking forward to a bunch of exciting things in January (and 2025).

(3) Posts this month (including this one (and the next few)): 37.

(4) For another month in a row: there's a fine line between treating oneself and over indulging; I'm not sure if any adult as figured that line out yet, but here's to continue toeing it. BUT some good baked goods, looooots of naps, soooooo much hot cocoa. I could have done worse this month. BUT x2, my mental health has been stable (except for that week when I had my period, COVID, and some not-so-fun seasonal depression).


Anyone still holding onto their resolutions?

Any exciting January reads? Any existing 2025 reads?
Anything I should check out?
