Jamie @ The Perpetual Page Turner is back with her annual book survey, which I’m hoping to complete for the first time later this month

Reflecting back on 2020 and setting some new reading goals!

This month I also finally signed up for StoryGraph (which officially launches today!), and I’m still figuring it out as I go but I love the content warnings and in-depth tags to provide a clearer sense on what each book entails. You can find me on there @spinesinaline and feel free to offer suggestions on using the site!

How was your final month of the year? Any bookish plans for 2021?
