December 2020 Wrap-Up

Well, well, well. Look who’s back. Sorry y’all. This post is so delayed that I wondered if I should just skip it. But it was a good month with a few fun buddy reads, I thought it’d be great to still post this and share my reading buddies’ reviews.

I also participated in Sapphic Saturday’s 12 Days of Queermas in December, which was super fun, and I did not actually follow my TBR. Here is the result:

School is starting soon and I have in-person classes this semester. It is both exciting and terrifying to be interacting with people face-to-face again and I’m not sure if I am ready for that. In the meantime, I’ve been catching up with some reading and getting ready for the new semester while struggling to put together my best of 2020 list. Kudos to all of my friends who managed to come up with such a list already! I am in awe of their efficiency and decisiveness! All I can wish now is to post a 2020 wrap-up before the end of this month. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to do it!
