Yaaaaay! Got my reading journal pages all prettied up for 2023 and can’t wait to join!

Planning out which books to read for which categories is almost as much fun for me as actually reading the books. I'm in!!

I agree, Sara! I love exploring all the possibilities of what I might choose.

Almost done with the 2023 challenge. 4 books left, but I should make it. Already looking forward to seeing what topics lay ahead for 2024. I’m such a planner!
