It’s the end of the year, and a lot of us are focused on two things: finishing our current reads, and completing those Goodreads challenges. December Dash is about short books (under 200 pages) and the last of our current reads so we can start 2024 off with a clean slate!
REMINDER: You don't have to only post the books you read that fit the theme, as long as one or more of your reads during the month match the prompt!
If you have any questions, check our general FAQ topic and see if it's been answered already. If not, ask away!
