And so, Goodreads says that I’ve read 33 books this year. My target was 50, so not quite there, but I did read some good ones. This post contains, um, one affiliate link. 10. All The Missing Girls, Megan Miranda – 5 stars, and I finished this at 4 AM. And I cried at the end. This year, tears have meant a good review. 9.
