Happy 2024!

 Hello Interwebs!

So it's been 2024 for about three weeks now and I'm just now getting around to posting this but first and foremost we're not judging ourselves in 2024 so our best effort is enough.

I have decided to do things a little differently this year and not do big overarching goals or the kind. I have a couple reading challenges that I am planning on participating on (which I will lay out in a blog post in a few days) but mostly I'm just flying by the seat of my pants with my reading this year. as always I have a goal of 52 books to read this year and I have done a list of 24 books to read in 2024 as well as a list of books that I am either going to read or unhaul this year. Some of the books on both lists are series rather than books but it's the general idea of 24 books in 2024. 

First up we're doing the 24 books I want to read in 2024 and this is, as always, in no particular order,

1. Bunny by Mona Awad
