    Looks like you had a great reading year! I wish I had as many 5-star ratings as you, this year wasn't the greatest reading year for me.

    Ooh fun tag. And 185 books is awesome! I loved big Little Lies, and I need to get to Artemis. That one sounds so good…

    I've heard good things about Fables too but have never read them.

    I can't believe you've read a book with just one other Goodreads reader; that's very cool 😉 my least popular book was Ladders to Fire by Anais Nin, which I think had 800 or so; which is few considering it's rather old. but it was a GORGEOUS book. I truly don't know why it's underappreciated <3
