As we reach the end of 2023, I’m excited to bring you a short series of episodes in which I look back at my reading year. This first episode is about the reading challenges I completed this year, and the ones I hope to complete next year, too. Did you have any reading challenges you completed in 2023? I hope you enjoy this episode, and chat soon!
