🍭 Progress: 12/20 🍭

My favorite book this month was Trust - which as of right now I am using for the travel destination set on my bucket list (New York City) - but might end up being switched to the 'unreliable narrator' prompt instead.

Weather has been pretty wild here. Pretty warm one day, then snow and cold the next... and in general, very short winter this year - but considering climate change that will probably get worse in the future..
