It was a good reading year. I end the year with no outstanding review copies for 2020, having read what I wanted and more. Plus, I got better about limiting my requests for review copies so that the number I have is actually manageable. I look forward to more diligent and careful reading next year.
See? Pandemics can be good for something!

You read a ton of books!! I never read that many but this year was hard. Just too many distractions.
I found reading to be the antidote to sleepless nights. I would say that other than audiobooks, 90 percent of my reading was done at night.
Congratulations on a great year of reading, and wishing you a happy and healthy 2021!
Thank you! Happy New Year!
