This is a fun little exercise devised by Shellyrae at Book'd Out
Here are the instructions:
Complete the prompts using titles from the books you have read in 2025 to complete the sentence to describe your life in the past year. NB Some of these statements aren’t true. The prompts are bold; my responses in plain text. It isn't as easy as it seems . . . We're asked to tag others. Nah. Participate if you wish to.
