December⤏
11 books total, plus 1 novella. 10 of which were Audiobooks and 2 that were Netgalley eARC's. Not one of my best months, but I managed to accomplish my # of books for the year goal, which was 155. I also made my page count goal of 50,000. I slid in with a 50,268-total-page count. Not bad...I'm not upping it for next year, though...gonna keep it at 50 thousand.
