Had this one on since I basically joined GR. I've been meaning to read it since I watched the movie in theatres ages ago.

First book read for February. I added this and a bunch more No Fear Shakespeare to my tbr back in 2018 when I saw Sparknotes had released a bunch more of them the previous year.

Shelby - I have had years that started slow and ended with a lot more books! My personal goal is to always read at least 12 books a year or 1 per month.

This isn’t my entire reading goal, but for the RYS challenge I try to keep it low so it doesn’t bother me later in the year.

Although my reading plans are pretty different for 2021.
