A little behind schedule, but wanted to mark the milestone of being 25% completed!

Made it one-third of the way up Mt. Vancouver! Kind of bummed that half of my reads have been DNFs but at least I'm clearing some off my shelves. Going to strive for reading mostly from my shelves in the final quarter of this year with hopes for a few more ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ added.
