Yikes! I've not updated all year!

I can't figure out a book with "future" in the title!

I did it! 4 years in a row!! And over a month earliest- the earliest finish yet! And a crazy variety of books- that's my favorite part of this challenge, some whacky books ends up!

some really good ones- Mudlark, 7 Days in June, Writers & Lovers, Purple Hibiscus.... least favorite? You'll never know because they became dnfs. The book that has stayed with me is def the Midnight Library.

Onto 2022!!! That number feels lucky!
