Happy New Year!

My name is Silvia and I've been a casual member of this group for 6 years. I'm a middle school teacher who loves learning. I am excited to have reached 75 books in 2021 and to have met all my reading goals! I have become a huge fan of audiobooks, as they allow me to maximize my reading time. I have a pretty busy schedule and most days audiobooks are the only way I can get some reading in. I am ready to embrace this new year and all the reading it will bring!

Happy reading everyone!!
