December 2024 - Monthly Wrap-up

Hello, everyone!!

I am cutting the book reading month and book reading year short this year with the culmination of the Goodreads challenge results! My monthly wrap-up for December 2024 ends today, December 19th. 

December was a month for audiobooks ONLY! There were so many good audiobooks released towards the end of the year I needed to take a break from ebooks.

My best book for December 2024 is an audiobook – On Living by Kerry Egan.
