TBR Reads (Don't fit theme):
Non-TBR Reads:
A Merry Little Meet Cute
I haven't participated for a few months, but this is the perfect theme for me to come back for, because December is always when I try to wrap up all my in-progress books and see what else I can squeeze in for my reading goals. To start, I'll put absolutely everything I have in progress in my Currently Reading list, even if it's highly unlikely I'll finish them before the year ends. All of those would definitely count for this theme, as would certain other books, but not the picture books I read for work.Finished on theme:
