Welcome Ziggy! Glad you decided to join even if we're half way the year. Looks like your quite an avid reader!
Really like your set up, mentioning your favourite read of the month; will have to add some of those to my evergrowing TBR.

Hope your knee is doing better?

Wishing you the best of luck with your goal Ziggy!
Hope you enjoy your challenges and that you'll find some new gems along the way!

Happy reading!!
