Murder by Death
I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.
16 Festive Tasks - my tracking post, update 3 (Dec. 14)
Well, the last few weeks have kind of sucked for me - in fact this entire spring season has, but never mind - I'm slowly kicking the cold to the curb and getting back into the swing of things, and that means trying to catch up with my own Festive Tasks and reads.
Here's where things stand for me:
I'll add a light for each task I've done and a star for each bonus point I've done (not including the Joker bonuses - I have no idea where to put them). So far, the card shows 35 points. I got 1 point for the Melbourne Cup Day Joker bonus for a total of 36 points.
