My 2025 New Years' Resolutions:

- incorporate more books from my physical and digital TBRs into annual and monthly challenges
- read and review NetGalley titles by publication date
- clear NetGalley backlog (so many books read but reviews not posted!)
- pick up library holds as soon as possible
- manage library holds more effectively, so they don't all arrive at once!

...MORE TO COME
