2025 a Year in the Books.
Even knowing that I write this blog post every year….THIS YEAR DID NOT GO AS PLANNED! I thought I would enjoy writing my book log on NetGalley’s print out mention in this blog…but I didn’t.
I couldn’t afford my Hoopla library card so…I unfortunately did not use it. It still stays on my phone because one day I will pay for my out of the state library card.
I barely used my Libby account…it is not my favorite.
I had to comb through my miscellaneous logs of books this year to write this years blog. I moved, life was chao.
