Happy new year, squiders! I hope you’re off to an encouraging start! It’s time for my yearly reading stats post, which is interesting to me and maybe no one else, but I like numbers and so here we are. Books
It’s Christmas Mystery Time
Hey ho, squiders, how are you doing? Wait, hold on. December books: Still 2/4 (in the middle of two, read a volume of manga) We’ve talked the past few weeks how December is traditionally a hard time for me to
Nano Writing: Essentially the End
November Books: 5/6 (Songs of Power, The Keeper of Magical Things, and The Night Guest) (The Night Guest shared a lot of similarities with One of Those Faces from last month that I didn’t like at all. This one was
