Hi y'all! Sorry posts have been sparse lately. Those of you who have been with me for awhile know I've been living with severe health problems for a long time and these have really been worsening in many ways over the past year and a half, made complicated by injuries and emergency surgeries.

Every year I write an end-of-year post about my annual Goodreads Reading Challenge and the report titled My Year in Books. I think I've been doing this since about 2012 or 2013.

So, please admire this average photo, but remember that I appreciate every like and comment. 😁
