Joy's (jlshall) 2024 Challenge

I skipped the challenge in 2023. I knew it was going to be a bad year for reading, and I’m kind of surprised I read as many books as I did (about a dozen).

Hoping to do a little better in 2024. I know I won’t make it to 50 books, but that’s a good number to aim for. We'll see how close I can get.

Happy New Year, everyone! And happy reading in 2024.
