Year in Review 2014
As I said in my previous post, I didn’t have such a good year this year in terms of meeting goals and challenges. I had planned to read 52 books, and I wound up reading 26, or about half of what I wanted to read.

I had a lot of fun with Harry Potter this year, but I stalled out in Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix. Here’s hoping I can pick that back up again, but perhaps dial it back a bit. The posts I wrote were loooooong.
