Dear Sunday Letter friends,

Have you missed me? I’ve missed myself. Ha. I’ve been a little lost for the past two weeks, but now a fresh new battery lives in my MacBook and all is calm in my world again.

Book Reviews: December 2021

Book Reviews December 2021

Hello, reader friends. With my book reviews for December 2021, we wrap up another year of reading. I can’t believe 2021 has passed by so quickly! I know I say this every year, but doesn’t it become truer every year?

Last January I set my 2021 Goodreads Reading Challenge at 50 books. With the five books I read in December, I overshot my goal by 48% reading 74 books. Each story taught me a thing or two while enriching my life in some way.

If you plan to set a Goodreads Reading Challenge for 2022, let’s connect (aka be Goodreads friends) and support each other. I find so many great reads through my Goodreads friends.

Onward now!
