Ahh… the last quarterly reading wrap-up of the year. The amount of items read dropped this quarter since I had less time and opportunity to read, and also because I read more novels than comics and audio books, which can be quickly consumed. However, I am proud of my progress because I read more than I thought I’d be able to and have surpassed my reading goal for the year.

At the moment that I’m writing this — Thursday, December 28, — I’m not reading anything, except blog posts.
You still got through some pretty amazing books though. 😉 Hopefully you’ll continue to read what you like, when you like and as often as you can. 😀
