Great to see you had a 5 star reading year Kazza, it's always nice bumping into you - let's keep our fingers crossed that 2026 is a great reading year and a great year in general 🤗🎈🦘
Karen, we’ve been long time friends and I so appreciate you! I have enjoyed our connection here and am always interested in your thoughts on the books you read. Wishing you a happy and healthy new year , my friend!
That was short and sweet! You did have some great reads and I appreciate your thoughts on them as I decide whether to include them or no. Happy New Year my friend across the pond!
I agree as well. Our GR community is very special and important. I appreciate you all and value you as reviewers and friends.
Karen, I hear you about these strange days! Reading is a great alternative to reality at times. I look forward to your sharing of more brilliant reads this year. Thanks for the light you bring to GR.
Great wrap up Karen. . . Your strange Days diagnosis is perfect for 2025.. I suspect we've still got some coming, and I'm going to follow your example and not provide a great list as is mostly for highlights and I've had a lot of highlights this year. Thank you for sharing all your thoughts on your reading journey. It's a delight and an education to have so many of of you wonderful readers sharing with others and I count myself as one of the lucky ones to be able to. Read your thoughts and think about it and the books with which we've had shared reading experiences. Happy reading in 2026!
Happy New Year to my Goodreads Michigan neighbor! I hope your year will be filled with wonderful reads, Karen! 🤩
I agree that the GR community is amazing. The people here have offered me support on my recent health issues and choices for books over the last few years. All the best for 2026.
