Wow, what an amazing reading year! I had my best reading year with 375 books read, I’m not sure I’ll ever manage to read that many in twelve months again but it has been wonderful. Hope 2020 brings lots more amazing books your way! 🙂

I hope you have less time to read next year and more time enjoying the pleasures you seek… and no… I did not mean that in any kind of dirty way. Behave yourself 😜🤣❤️
Still, 700 is amazing.

It was quite an impressive reading and reviewing year for you, but since you hope to change things up a little bit, I wish you well with those changes this year. “To everything there is a season…” You did what you needed to in order to survive emotionally this last year. May 2020 offer new challenges and great promise, Shalini!

Well, I am seriously impressed with the massive amount of reading you’ve done this year. (The reason why tears at my heart, though) My wish for you is that 2020 is a much happier year for you, and that your reading time will be spent with more of your own books.

Sorry about the break up. If it had happened to me though, I would have found solace in books too. I myself read about 20 books. And that was a case of fitting them into every spare moment.
