I almost didn’t survive the week of Christmas, friends…I felt knocked out by Christmas day. Like literally could not keep my eyes awake after my family Christmas lunch! December was BUSY as usual, and I thought I was more prepared this year until the week of Christmas hit and I needed caffeine, I needed sleep, I needed energy…why does it always become such a rush of activities? 😅
I did manage to read books, I actually read to escape all the things I had to do lol.
I read 24 books and posted 18 book reviews in November.

Past Midnight Book Reviews & More 
Ah, I was also exhausted by Christmas! Then New Year’s Eve was upon us and I was wondering how I was expected to do all these holidays right in a row!
It is exhausting every year! But we did it! We got through it 😅.
Wow that is an impressive amount of books for December! The Holiday season is always so busy… I hope January will treat you well!
Thanks! You are right I was so busy but to put aside my anxiety about the holiday rush, I picked up a book. 😅. So I was escaping as much as I could.
