I have a collection of Grimm’s Fairy Tales that I’ve owned for as long as I can remember, possibly even since birth.

2018 End of Year Book Survey (& Year in Graphs!)

This is a (very) modified version of Jamie @ The Perpetual Page Turner’s annual End of Year Book Survey. I’ve taken out quite a few questions and added some of my own, along with graphs (because everyone knows that pretty graphs make the world a better place). 2018 Reading Stats Number Of Books You Read: 153 Fun Pie Graphs: I thought it might be interesting to look at my reading in pie charts since I kept […]
