Books, stationery, and wellbeing
I flipping love Goodreads. I love seeing what my friends are reading, I love the monthly emails reminding me about new releases from writers I've read before, and I have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with the annual challenge. 2020 was the first year I didn't smash my target. 60 would have been easy if I… Continue reading Goodreads Challenge 2020
