Hello Lovely Readers!
This isn’t as late as some other wrap-ups and at least I am getting to it since I didn’t for November. 😂
December was a very busy month with the holidays but things have at least started to slow down. I did manage to read quite a bit and still find time for videogames. There was also a lot of back and forth with insurance which is annoying and now we are switching insurances due to a buyout from my husband’s work so I feel like it is back to square one once again. I can never win it seems!
Other than that, there was a lot of time spent with family. I haven’t seen mine for a couple years now and I can’t wait to see them this summer when my younger brother gets married. I am so excited but also sad! He will always be the little baby. My daughter was asked to be the flower girl so we will see how that goes, haha.
This month I managed to read 12 books, 12 audiobooks, and 0 manga/graphic novels.
24 books in total!
