93: Mid-Year Reading Goals Check In

Show notes: We set some reading goals back in January and we thought we’d share our progress on them.  Spoiler alert: We don’t know who we thought we were six months ago, but we’re mostly failing at our goals. It’s fun to look back, though, at how cute we were in January with our excited reading energy.     Click here to join us on Patreon to get an exclusive bookish goodie every single Friday.
