____________________________________

2024 was a great reading year for me. I read primarily for escape and entertain. It read mostly romance novels (contemporary and historical), some mysteries and few shorts.

This year, I also read less ARCs and that made me happy because there was less pressure to read fast or think of something to say about the book.

For 2025, I am looking forward to reading more for enjoyment as well as for self-development.

See you in 2025.
