It's that time of year again! Reading wrap-ups and looking forward!
My goal for next year is to read 52 books! That will bring me back to my average annual reading level for most of my life. I met that number this year, so it's looking good for next year.

The next quote I'd like to highlight comes from Chapter 3 when Corey is trying to get Nina to open up about herself.

Got my first rejection of 2026, now have done 3 submissions towards my goal of 52.
It occurs to me I could see if I have anything not submitted and do a push with all of those. But I also have 6 other author-related items to do today. So, I probably won't do the submissions.
