Confessions of a Literary Addict

(This is so late. I was so lazy editing the video and putting the pics in and everything. There were just so many books.)

I don’t know what’s happening to me in this new year but I’m kind of wishing it would stay because DAMN, GIRL.

I read 21 books this month. Yes, like half were novellas, but I’m still breaking my own record here. I also think I may have blacked out the entire month, because it sure felt like it went a lot slower than it usually does. Don’t know what’s up with that part.

But I digress.

So, yeah, 21 books! And I took part in a readathon, which you can read about here if you’re interested (because I didn’t win, but I sure killed my own expectations, so that was cool).

… And it’s now hitting me how much time it’s going to take to fully put this post together, so that’s fun. Well. Here we go.
