How about you &#8211; how was your December Reading Challenge?<\/p>\n<p>However, overall my reading year has been great! I read 47 books this year (so far, I might squeeze one more in!) although I have to admit 19 of those were the Joe Pickett mystery series by C.J. Box. Not only are these relatively quick to read, they&#8217;re the kind of books that make you stay up way past your bedtime to finish! I read some truly great books this year, many of which have found their way onto my all-time favorites list. I hope you enjoyed a great reading year as well!<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check the blog on <strong>January 2nd<\/strong> when the <em><strong>O<\/strong><strong>nline Reading Challenge 2020 &#8211; Film to Book <\/strong><\/em>\u00a0will begin!
