It's the start of a new year and that's an exciting time. It means it's time for a new reading challenge. I use Goodreads to track the books I read (in 2024, that was 100 books), but I know others use different tools. However, whatever tool you use, I love being able to go back and check which books I read when. It's been a great way for me to capture all the books I've read. Yet like many of you, … [Read more...]
