2017 in Review

Hmmmm, I’ve never done a post like this one before since I don’t do monthly wrap-ups. I’m not really sure where to start… Am I supposed to do this conversationally, or just make like a list?

I looked at someone else’s, and it looks like I can just say hi then go into a list. Whew, that was stressful. And apparently it is very important for all of you to be a part of this completely pointless process….

I started Never Not Reading on May 13, 2017. It’s been a heck of a first year, and I can’t see where next year goes!
