Hi folks! What a year 2020 has been, eh?
Most, if not all, would agree with me that 2020 turned out very differently. It was a crazy year!
Since we went on lock down and started working from home, one would think that I would have read more books and reached my reading goals. But alas, I did not. And I only meant to read 30 books! I still got some reading done but I was also in a reading slump. Plus, I picked up a few hobbies or activities that kind of took over my reading time. Lol (And of course, work's busy as usual) But it's okay. Everything's fine. 😁
I did not finish a book in January and February because of work, so I only started reading in March. So yeah, here's my recap.

I read a total of 22 books! But aside from them, I also started reading Manga, specifically Attack on Titan. I am currently on Volume 4.
Other update reading-wise is I finally got a TBR Cart! It currently has some of the books I bought in 2020, so here's my incomplete 2020 book haul.
For the blog, I did not post much but that is not something unusual. Haha! I was actually debating whether I should still continue this blog or not. But even though my laziness gets the best of me, I still enjoy writing and sharing anything book-related so I will keep this.
For my reading journal and reading challenges, nothing really significant happened! 😂 I don't think I will be keeping a separate journal for my reading/books so I will just have a few pages dedicated to books in my life journal. I will post a 2021 journal tour soon! But still here are some pages from my 2020 reading journal.

That's it folks! I know I should've read more in 2020, but you know, life. I hope 2021 will be a better reading year for me. I am planning to read more fantasy books but we shall see.
For non-bookish things, I have yet to decide what I'll be focusing on in 2021, especially since I will be turning 30! But regardless I am just hoping for a great year! 😁

Happy reading folks!
