2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021
Yes we are at that time of year again where we start looking back and often we do that with the end of the year survey as created by The Perpetual Page-Turner. The last updated survey was updated in 2020 (that I can find). It is now the 28th and we have a few more days but I’m not expecting to finish a whole lot more books with this being my sons Christmas vacation.
I skipped a few questions about romantic relationships and all that jazz. That is why there is a jump in the numbers sometimes.
