Folks, I had a fast-paced December. I went to a blogging event, took part in a readathon, and celebrated Christmas and new year. I read nine books in December, which was a good high to finish the year on. The Poppy War // 4 stars // Hardback/Audiobook After putting this on hold for about 10… Continue reading December 2019 Wrap Up // Christmas, End of Yearathon, and hitting my Goodreads goal
