⑫December -

This challenge is totally depressing! lol... I did great for the early releases this year, but it's too hard to get to new releases at the end of the year as a person who gets all their books from the library. I'm definitely not going to complete this challenge! :(

I know! I'm struggling with getting October, November and December! I don't think I'll manage - but I did have fun trying - I know I'll get at least 1 each for the months - but the 4 I was trying for might by unattainable now!

Trying for 2 per month (24 new releases) was probably a stretch but I did read 17... but 2 of the month this year I didn't read any new releases. But I read more than I thought I would, so that's good!
Updated post: My New Releases Challenge (msg 38)

Level🔹 Twice Shy🔹2 books per month
Books Read🔹17

Finished! It took me a few days longer than the end of the year to get the books I needed from the library, but it's finally done.
