Fortnightly* Update #16
Finally remembering to do these on time. The manga really helped with my goal though I'm starting to feel the pressure of a few of my yearly challenges. Also I'm likely going to start two 800 page+ books so I like the wiggle room. This has definitely been my most read month so far. Only four left in the year!
*I've decided to change this a bit to a bimonthly update, on the 1st and 15th of each month. But I'm keeping the name, since I really like the word fortnight.
