Alright! This is the moment you’ve been waiting for! My top 5 quotes from 2020! I was ruthless. I was horrible. I decided that with nothing else to lose, I had nothing more to give, but my honest feelings. I feel bad, but also not, because its no coincidence that the top 5 quotes spots were dominated by the same two stories. I fell for two stories so irrevocably that like, nothing can be or will be the same (along with a few others). As such! Here you are.

And so here ends this challenge. We have more posts to come. See you soon.
ALRIGHT! Let’s start this count down off right! Heads up NOW. I am posting on post every hour to the start of the new year. If you want to unfollow me, do it now. I know most people will not see this until it is too late but I’m giving you fair warning.
How did your November go? It is now December which means Dragonssss. For the most part my November went well, save in the Nano department where I gave up half way through the month lol. Oh well! Next year!
It is now November! A whole month come and gone. Vampires come and gone. Goodness. I read so many vampire books last month that I think I want to puke. And yes, I remember them all. No they were not all good. HAHA, you will see soon.
Are you guys planning anything for Nano? I hope so and if you are, I hope your projects are fruitful!
Happy October! Welcome to my favorite month of the year! We passed the site’s birthday with little fanfare. I was going to make a post and then I completely forgot about it. Oh well, it wasn’t that big of a deal really. What is, is that I was able to get back into reading the way I used to for manga. Did I cut down my list as I had hoped? No. BUT I did cut down on lots of my tabs. I should be able to do better as we continue towards December. My goal is to get them all down, catch up on all my webnovels, and then be able to just stay up with them from that point on.
I got this! I believe in myself! And here is what I read in September.
Hello! Hello! Happy August! If you know anything, you know that this read-a-thon, is a massive one. I am excited to see how G changes the read-a-thon next year. (She’s making her own magical world/school). I will go into the details of the read-a-thon, if you want to join.
Oh my goodness. I did it. I read this many books. I really dove in to finish series this last month, and I got two done! I still have not touched the one series yet, but I will get to it at some point. Not that it matters because I got THESE books done. I am so proud of myself! September is going to be a lot more about manga, webnovels and TV shows than it is books so this month and August are going to be my heaviest reading months this year, I think. Not that I care. I’m ready!
