I’m so excited to participate in the Goodreads: Your Year In Books Meme hosted by Ester of BiteIntoBooks!
I had seen a few people posting their Goodreads stats here and there on Facebook, but I had honestly only glanced at mine briefly. I’m so glad that I took another look!

Ooh fun tag. And 185 books is awesome! I loved big Little Lies, and I need to get to Artemis. That one sounds so good…
I've heard good things about Fables too but have never read them.
Erica Hatch says
😀 I hope you enjoy Artemis and Fables as much as I did! I gotta snag the second volume of Fables soon!

I can't believe you've read a book with just one other Goodreads reader; that's very cool 😉 my least popular book was Ladders to Fire by Anais Nin, which I think had 800 or so; which is few considering it's rather old. but it was a GORGEOUS book. I truly don't know why it's underappreciated <3
Erica Hatch says
Ooh! I'll have to check that one out!
Nicole Hewitt says
