2020 Reading Challenge

Way, way, way back, many moons ago, I challenged myself to "Read 20 Pulitzer Prize winning fiction books." That didn't happen. Thanksgiving week, I challenged myself to finish a different challenge. I wrote all about that challenge on my book blog. Check it out here! In 2021, I plan to continue this Book Hoarder challenge.…

What I want for 2020

Time for new goals! I'm going to keep some goals that I really enjoyed from the previous year, and I'll also throw in some extras. Don't go more than two weeks without blogging I want to keep this blog up, and when I get busy, I forget to write. Hopefully this year I can continue…

My fitness goal
