All of the Books I Read in 2023
Happy New Year! Now that 2023 has come to an end it is time, again, for my yearly reading wrap up. Every year I usually set a goal of reading the end number in the year (for example 23 in 2023) as the number of books that I'll try to read. Also usually, I'd come up with challenges to try and diversify what I was reading. However, this year I decided to do away with the challenges because I thought that what I wanted to get out of the challenges I had achieved. I thought the challenges might be holding me back from reading as much as I could and what I really wanted to. And I think the fact that I finished my goal of reading 23 books this year in less than six months, I would say that, yeah... the challenges might've been holding me back.
