Overall mood: jittery. I have been busy this month which has meant I have had to separate myself from my reading stack in my room.

The End of Year Reading Crunch
As the end of the year nears and we enter December, one thing I know will be the talk of bookish social media is the reading goals set at the beginning of 2024. At this stage though, it’s more likely the talk of binge reading to try and get the numbers up and prove that…
