I may or may not have completely forgotten about the existence of this challenge up until about five minutes ago (WHOOPSIE).

But how is everyone going?

It's New Year's Eve here, so I've officially updated my list to reflect my final count, which was 34 books out of the 52, which I'm pretty happy about!

How did everyone else go?

Also, if you've somehow missed it, here's the link to the 2018 Reading Challenge
