I had thought my goals for 2023 were attainable but I had no idea just how tired 2022 had made me and how much rest I would need. To be fair, the only thing I didn't make was number of books read (79 out of 100 according to my list) but I did read 30 new authors and 21,071 pages which is not too shabby. Obviously, book reviews went out the window really quickly with all the school I was doing. Being realistic, this is not the year that it's going to happen either.
