Taking Stock - December

Total posts: 28
Total books read this month: 54
Total books read this year: 456 (Completed my Goodreads Challenge for 2013)

Challenges:
Audio Books: 2/ 65
Debut Author: 2/ 28
Mount TBR Challenge: 1/ 18
Picture Books: 33/ 133

The Good: Considering the last five months and its health challenges, I did pretty well reading-wise.

The Bad: Only 2 audiobooks this month.


The Resolutions for 2014: There was a time when I "reviewed" every book I read. Then, I amped up my reading goals and reviews sort of fell by the wayside because I write so durn slow. Now my review output is rather pitiful, so I'd like to review more of what I read in 2014.
