the BEST and WORST books of 2025 so far! 📚📈quarterly wrap up

hello friends how are we all doing It is time for my quarterly wrap-up of the first quarter Kwan of the year How are we all doing How is everyone's reading gone I feel like my reading this first quarter has been very mixed We'll talk about that particularly when we get into the stats If you're new here for my quarterly wrap-ups I go through all my reading stats for the quarter and then we go through the five worst and five best books that I have read So shall we just dive into it We'll start with the stats And yeah I'm excited to talk about my reading at the start of this year cuz I feel like it's been like there's been some interesting themes shall we say So let's get into it Okay let's talk about reading stats shall we So in the first three months of the year I read 26 books which I feel like well no definitely is a little bit less than I would usually read You'll see why when we go through the months but a little bit less than what I would usually read I struggled a little bit getting into reading at the start of this year So I only read five books in January And in all these months there'll be some books or a book that I can't show you yet for a vlog that's coming So there'll be there'll be some that you can't see but I read five books in January I read nine books in February and I read 12 books in March So I'd say 12 is kind of my average usually So we're getting back into the normal swing of things but I definitely struggled reading at the start of the year I read 8,670 pages which is an average of 96.3 pages per day Just under I always like that to be 100 Like if I feel like I'm reading 100 pages a day I feel like I'm doing something right you know I love my family I love my work I love my life And that is an average of 333 pages per book which is I think a little bit higher I didn't read many novelas if any in the first few months of the year There's mostly novels and mostly longer ones I feel like my average is usually a little bit under 300 So a little bit longer in terms of the books I read My average rating was a 3.6 My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined which was my average rating last year when I was trying to have my best reading year ever Usually I was a 3.7 in years previous my average rating The thing is we'll talk about the star ratings when we get into graphs in a second It's absolutely diabolical cuz I've had quite a lot of five stars I've had a lot of like really strong books I just had so many so many 3.5 stars The evil 3.5 star rating Here's the thing A 3.5 is like a good rating I've just had so many of them and I feel the same about so many books that I've read in the first quarter I am fed up of 3.5s I never want to see a 3.5 again I am so done with the 3.5 star rating So yeah my average rating was a 3.6 six And the average amount of months a book has been on my TBR was 11 which is quite high I read a lot of books that had been on my TBR I mean there's like some really there's some books that had been on my TBR for a really long time Let me call some of them out Some of which we will be talking about later A Darker Shade of Magic had been on my TBR 63 months A Sprinkle of Sorcery 53 The Mirror Season 41 But then there's loads of books like I did the whole Good Reads Choice Awards winners vlog where I had to get all of them in All of them had been on my TBR for zero months So it is a mix but the average was 11 Okay let's get into the graphs So this is my star ratings So as you can see it's very middleheavy So I had three two stars one 2.5 star six three stars eight eight 3.5s eight 3.5s one four two 4.5s and five fives This is what I'm saying Five fives out of 26 books is like a fifth is really good I I did not really get many I don't know how many five stars I had this point in the year last year but it wasn't many So I'm feeling really good about the amount of five stars I'm getting I'm just I don't want 3.5s cuz that's like I liked it but it was mid Three is like a It's fine 3.5 is I liked it but it was mid I would like some I'd like more fours I've only had one four One four I'd like some more fours I mean of course I'd like more fives but I just want the books to raise that little bit from a 3.5 to a four because a four is like that's a really strong book I liked it you know So I would like that to improve In terms of genre let's talk about genre I read one contemporary seven fantasy We'll talk about that in a second One historical one horror one magical realism one memoir six mystery three non-fiction which is good How many non-fiction am I aiming to read this year 15 Okay we're a bit behind in that regard Three romance one sci-fi and one thriller So my most genres as usual are fantasy and mystery but fantasy I have been really struggling with I don't know if I've really read a fantasy yet this year that I've really enjoyed It hasn't been good I haven't been enjoying the fantasy that I've been reading Most hideous experience for me to go through how horrible and [ __ ] And I don't really know why that is like a lot I mean what what is the highest rated fantasy that I've read Cuz there ain't many fantasy A three a three a two I'm looking at the ratings I've given A 3.5 a 3.5 a 2.5 and a three Yeah I'm not enjoying fantasy I don't really know why that is There's just something I'm really struggling with with fantasy in that like higher level of imagination I' I've spoken about this already this year but like I'm I'm just finding them really hard to read That level of imagination of like this other world I'm not vibing with And I don't know why I mean sure I have to read a fantasy at some point this year I give a four or higher We can't go the whole year not reading fantasy Does that sound like something you want It is But let me tell you you'll never get it That can't happen It's one of my most read genres So yeah It's really upsetting me I have so much of my TBR is fantasy I have so many books I want to read but I'm just really struggling with it and I don't know why I will just show you quickly here the subg genre categories I've read quite a lot of historical leaning things Six historical leaning subgenre books In terms of format 24 were novels One was a novela and one was anthology So pretty much all novels A lot of what I read is novels though this is never very interesting but mostly novels In terms of how I read the books two were audio books nine were physical and 15 were mixture which had I had the physical and the audio I would always like that to be like less than 50% I feel like I relied on audio a little bit So far in April I think I've done like almost all physical reading which I'm quite happy with I just think like I don't want to be relying on audio books Audio books are great I I listen to a lot of audio books um they really help me like get through books when particularly for vlogs like if I have a deadline but I don't want to become reliant on them and just like listening to them for the sake of listening to them So I'm really trying to keep that like under 50% But it was a little bit more this month One stat that I'm very interested in is the author status because I had as one of my reading goals this year to have 50% authors I'd read from before in order to have a good reading year because chances are if I've read an author before and want to read from them again I've enjoyed them in the past and will enjoy them again And I want to read down my TBR and a lot of my TBR is authors I've read from before And it is half in this first quarter exactly half I read five debuts eight authors that were new to me and 13 authors that I'd read from before or books from authors that I read from before Um so I'm very happy about that We're we're on track for that goal and I thought that would be a really hard goal to achieve but like even with doing some vlogs that I feel like didn't lend itself to that we still achieved it And um I definitely think it will help me read down my TBR and help me have a higher rating if we continue that I still want to like discover new authors that I haven't read from before but you know usually it's like a third a third a third and I just want that read before to be 50 So I'm very happy that that's happened Then in terms of where I acquired the books 13 were books that I'd bought 11 were books that were gifted to me and two were books from the publisher I think I'm going forward going to swap how I track this or like add another category where it's like did I buy this for a vlog like in the moment or in like the month previous or was it on my TBR So I'm going to switch how I track that going forward So next month's quarter wrap-up next month's I keep saying months In 3 months time that will be a stat So I'm going to track that going forward cuz I think like I'm trying to read down my TBR That is something we should track In terms of audience I read 21 adult three YA and two middle gradede That's a bigger chunk of YA middle gradede than usual I read the older series on my TBR that I hadn't like continued in and a lot of them two of them were middle gradede And I've just been reading a little bit more YA I don't think I'll necessarily continue It's still majority adult that I read these days but yeah I don't know It's interesting And then the publisher that had published the books two are published by Amazon which is like Lady Hard Castle and another indie It's kind of like indie published isn't it like through an Amazon publisher Six were published by Hashet three were Harper Collins four were McMillan five were Penguin one from Titan one from tour Is there any others One from Orbit and one from Atlantic Books And then the year the books were published 12 were from 2024 We don't need to go through all the other years but I read a lot of 2024 releases I have not yet read a 2025 release and it's April I'm not doing my job Get your [ __ ] ass up and work It seems like nobody wants to work these days Well here's the thing I'm trying to read down my TBR but I do have some I'm just scared I'm scared to crack into one I'm scared to read my first 2025 release Bit petrified actually I'm a little bit scared I haven't read any 2025 books Let me know what your favorite if you've read any 2025 releases what has been your favorite so far this year I'd like to know Cover color nine were black a lot of them were black Um three were pink three were blue but a lot of black covers which I feel like I want some color in my life you know And then the country that a book were published I haven't read very diversely in terms of country this this month This month this quarter I'm so sorry Every time I say this month just ignore me 10 was set in the US four were set in the United Kingdom and one was set in Japan Not very diverse I read a lot of US set books and hopefully I will read a bit more variety in the coming months Oh and sorry I forgot series stats Series stats Two books were first in a series Am I continuing either of those I'm not continuing either the series that I started Seven books were partway through a series That's good isn't it Seven books were partway through a series One book was last in a series and 16 were standalones So I'm pretty happy with that Okay I think that is all our reading stats Let's go get into the best and the worst of the month Okay let's talk about the five worst We'll start with the worst and then we'll end on a positive note As I was saying with the statistics I did not have a lot of low ratings this quarter I really didn't It was just a lot of 3.5 So the first two on this list because there's one I think 2.5 No one two maybe Oh Da's fighting the bed Ignore her Sorry about the noise She just has to be in here while I'm filming She hears my voice and she doesn't like that I'm talking to someone that's not her There's one book that I gave a rating I think two that I can't show you cuz it's a secret book So there's two three stars on this list And like I don't feel like a three star should really be on a worst books list So I've picked my worst three stars but like that feels wrong These books are fine I They're fine you know But um we have to talk about something So number five a three star is Threeact Tragedy by Agatha Christie I read this on holiday It was one of the two books I read whilst I was away that I didn't vlog This and I read The Next Lady Hard Castle which I did enjoy I gave that I think a 4.5 But this was my next pro to read It's at a dinner party and one person collapses and dies at the dinner party but then his like drink glass is tested and it doesn't have any traces of the thing that killed him Now my issue with this is there is basically no pro for a pro Hell yeah Where's this [ __ ] Where is she She's scared If I'm reading a pro I want pro How many times can I say pro before it stops sounding like a real word or a real name I guess it's not a word or something I don't know Anyways he's barely in this book And instead we're following these characters that I didn't really care about They felt kind of like just basic versions of like characters you see in Agatha Christie books again and again and again and again Like in this era every book has a young kind of like clever girl as an Agatha Christie insert There's there's a certain archetype If you've read her books there's you know the kind of young girl that I'm talking about you clever sensible maybe helps out pro in the investigation that she's always there There's always a little sneaky Agatha Christie insert I wonder whether it kind of like ages up or whether she's always like this younger I don't know But yeah just certain characters just felt like archetypal characters that she does a lot but not done particularly well You know what I mean So I don't really have much to say about this It was very me I listen to the audio book on the beach I much prefer the beach than listening to this Here's I think there's so here's the thing There are so many Christies There's so many Christies And I feel like I'm getting into like a really like high point of her writing Like the next five I have to read are Death in the Clouds The ABC Murders Murden Mesopotamia Cards on the Table I've heard wonderful things about and Murder in the Muse So I feel like I'm And then Death on an Ar which I have read is a little bit further down Like I feel like this is really like an iconic era And when you look at the publication years she's just publishing like three books a year sometimes She was the Freedom McFaden of her day Okay don't say that one more time You sound really stupid No that's that's not a good comparison because Miss Agatha couldn't write Well oh my god I shouldn't be mean Okay Um yeah but she's publishing a lot And I think sometimes you just read certain pros where you're like you just churned that one out babes You wrote that in a day This is there's not much thought to this and the characters didn't feel particularly depth Like she has this is the thing when she was publishing so many books There's absolute standouts knockouts and then the next book you read will be a bit meh you know So it was a three star Again this isn't bad It's all my worst books but like I had to fill something So I just felt a bit bit disappointed by this one Then we have a three star that is absolutely a victim of me struggling with fantasy This was the one that made me realize I was struggling with fantasy So again I feel tentative to put this on here but all the other three stars I felt tentative to put on here And that is the Hexologist by Josiah Braftoft This was a book that I read for the Mr Bees vlog It was one of the books I got recommended there And I really feel like I could have loved this Was it the right moment You're following a husband and wife duo as they solve mysteries The king currently wants to be baked into a cake but there's also all these monsters It's like a very like fantastical world with these kind of like I want to say Lovecraftian I don't really know what Lovecraftian was but anything I've ever heard compared to Lovecraftian I would compare to this you know like these kind of like dark monsters that spring up out of nowhere and they have to fight them I just couldn't picture it cuz it's fantasy This is this is really a me problem this one It's really me problem There's a lot that I could enjoy about this It was funny It had this kind of like self-aware sarcastic narration that I think usually I would really enjoy It had a talking dragon who occasionally eats people but is kind of sweet as well and likes like baked goods that has that kind of cozy element but I just couldn't I couldn't picture it and I've kind of forgotten about it you know But I really think this is me It's a me problem and I think in another life I could have enjoyed it but I really really struggled to get through it Really did Like in terms of my enjoyment this was probably even like a 2.5 but I gave it a three because I recognized that it was me that was the issue Okay then we have a 2.5 and that is Amari and the Great Game by BB Alston I'm sc I'm sad about this one I'm really amum I feel bad I feel guilty I feel terrible Yeah it's not Yeah this is the sequel to Amari and the Night Brothers which I loved And I read this as part of me trying to like make progress in series I haven't made progress in in a long time And I just didn't like it I didn't like it I didn't like it I'm so sorry I didn't like it I mean all I can do is be honest with my feelings The thing that bothered me most was The Great Game was like only introduced halfway through the book and in my opinion was nothing source This book is like a middle book It's like trying to set up more for us to care about more problems And I I really feel like it's it's not actually technically a middle book cuz it's going to be five books But I don't feel like this book really has an identity of its own It didn't have events that I cared about It didn't have character development that I cared about Everything just felt a bit stagnant and a bit like unnotable Yeah And I'm not going to continue the series I feel really bad I I love this the first book of the series I wanted to love this one but like great gamew wear Great gamew wear What Great game great gamew wear I can't see her It's just it doesn't the book I don't really understand what it was shooting for I don't want to talk about it cuz I'm sad The next book I was like thinking I could get away without talking about this as well And this another fantasy and I read this for my patron book club and it is A Darker Shade of Magic by V E Schwab I gave this two stars I I didn't think I'd actually have to come I hadn't I hadn't thought about this video and I didn't think I'd have to come to you and tell you this I really don't like speaking so I'd rather stay quiet and listen to other people talk You all know Dark Shade of Magic basically is like Londons There's all these different Londons and these alternative worlds and we're following a character who can kind of move between them Red London black London white London I did not enjoy this at all I know so many people love it I know so many people I didn't enjoy it at all Again a victim of me struggling with fantasy for some reason but I didn't care about the characters When you read the reviews for this like people are like crazy about the characters People love them They're like characters people love I I was like this is like every other I've read this man like lovable like brave male protagonist and then like quirky I'm like other girls girl I've I've read them 10,000 times I don't really understand what we're doing here The plot was so boring to me There was like a [ __ ] rock we had to get back to somewhere It was so boring I don't think I I don't think I'm I'm ready I'm not I I don't feel willing to defend myself on the world stage about this Here's the thing When you dislike a book that is so popular I feel like people expect you to have strong feelings about it and opinions I don't have any thoughts or opinions about this book To me it's just so bland and so blah And it doesn't feel like what I know from VE Schwab I've read a lot of V Schwab I love Invisible Life Fu I enjoyed gallant There's other ones I'm forgetting Oh Vicious and Vengeful This doesn't feel like V Schwab to me This feels like she was still trying to figure out maybe what author she wanted to be and like her style It feels just very like derivative of a lot of other like epic fantasy to me and I feel like some what she writes now is very unique and has a really distinctive tone to it and I didn't feel it in this book So I know I know this isn't popular opinion I don't really want to talk about it I didn't love it It was boring There was certain characters and and worlds of certain Londons that were really interesting but we didn't explore them enough And yeah that's it And I'd say my worst book that I read this month not this month this quarter is The Anxious Generation by Jose Jonathan Joseph Jonathan Hate Don't even know the guy's name Sorry So I read this for my reading the Goodreads Choice Awards winners vlog which we'll have some positives for in a second but this one non-fiction and I don't want to get into everything again There's a lot of problems with this guy's views but basically he's just like everything that's wrong in the world social media is to blame Children being on social media is to blame Everything that like every mental illness everything that they struggle with like you need to just get them off social media And I just feel like it is so simplistic It's a very simplistic answer to a very complex problem Do I agree that there's huge problems with how you know young people interact with social media how social media algorithms feed certain content to young people Absolutely I I think I think it's a huge factor but I don't believe it's the only factor And his viewpoint is just so like one note and refusing to budge in any direction There were certain moments where he'd say he'd talk about a certain thing that like you know young adults struggle with nowadays and just like put all the on social media I'm like well what about this factor What about this factor And he was like no it's all this No one should be on social media till they're 16 And like D And I just don't feel like what he's saying is very realistic in terms of like what he says people should do going forward And I don't feel like his I think it's just so I think it's so simplistic what he's saying I I just yeah I didn't enjoy it And like there's certain moments where he like he he provides a bit of like data and I'm like you could also withdraw this from this data and he just refuses to I just found it a bit of annoying read and it's so dry It's not very well written either It's not engaging It's not interesting He's just repeating himself again and again and again And I thought what this book was going to be more about was like the different reasons why we are such an anxious generation You know he's talking about people my age really Like I kind of like came on to social media really as it was blowing up Like I Facebook was really popular but then also Twitter was up and coming and Instagram was up and like it was all kind of like beginning around the time I was like 12 and 13 these other social media sites And so like he's talking about me and I'm like yes I think there's like huge reasons as to why social media has perpetuated these things but there's also other reasons and it just was too too simplistic for me Okay time to talk about now the best which is much more positive and exciting to talk about So I actually had five five stars in the first quarter which is perfect I didn't have to like admit any five stars Um my first one number five is at number five because it's a reread This is actually one of my favorite books but like in terms of reading this book for the first time versus rereading it it's a different level of enjoyment So it's Murder on the Uran Express by Etha Christie The duality of this woman to have one on the worst and one on the best I love this book It's one of my favorite men of mysteries I think it's absolutely iconic But like if you've read this book reading it for the first time and not clocking the twist and like experiencing the twist is going to be like that's why it's one of my favorite books Rereading it was very interesting I think it was interesting to see the clues that she'd laid it Like I think a good murder mystery is one that you can't clock when you're reading it but when you're rereading it it feels so obvious And that's how this feels I was like "Oh my god." She was basically telling us the whole time "You genius Agatha you're so clever Oh my god you're so clever." I love this book I I mean I've spoken about this a lot We don't need to dwell on it but I reread it for my patron book club and it was really fun to read with everyone and I just think it's I think this is probably like to me Agatha's Magnum Opus Like some people were saying and then there Were None I feel like it's between And then there Were None and this and for me it's this I love Malia Express I love the isolated setting I love the train setting I love the twist I love the characters I love the format You know Parro sitting down and interviewing each person on the train I think it's such like an interesting formulaic but like it feels so fresh format I love it I love Midan Express but it was a reread and so that's why it's at number five The next two books were both in that Good Reads Choice Awards winners vlog So although we had one bad book we did have two five star standouts First is The Wedding People which is about a woman who is planning on unaliving herself and she goes to this hotel where she is the only guest at this hotel that is not there for a wedding that's taking place She meets the bride and they hit it off and form a friendship and it's the story of their relationship and friendship basically I loved this book I thought it was a very very funny It's a very funny book which like the synopsis doesn't sound like it's going to be but I think it towed the line of like talking about this very serious topic whilst also talking about how wonderful it is to live and how how much beauty there is in life I can see people having issues I said in the vlog like the way that it handles that mental health crisis of her planning to go to this hotel to unal alive herself I can understand people having issues with it but I can also see people resonating with it You know I think like there's no I don't think with that topic a book can really have like a portrayal that feels accurate to everyone because everyone's experiences will be so different But I thought this was just a really beautiful book It was funny I really loved the characters The characters all felt very vivid on the page to me I could see them I could imagine them They all felt like real people I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this I did not expect to enjoy it Thank god it won fiction If I had had to read into by Sally Rooney that would be I would be so upset I would be so upset And I would never have read this book had it not won And I loved the journey that these characters have in a very short amount of time It's like a weekend with each other The discoveries they make about themselves I loved it Coming in at number three is Funny Story by Emily Henry Now this came at a time when I'd really been struggling to read and I read this and I was like "God it's so great to read again." This is by far my favorite Emily Henry We've got two characters who each of their partners cheated on them and left them for each other basically And she moves in with him cuz he needs a roommate She needs somewhere to live cuz the boyfriend is like "You have a week I'm going to go on a nice romantic holiday with my new girlfriend and you have a week to find somewhere to live." and they move in together decide to fake date because they both get invited to the wedding that these characters are now having and it just goes from there And I just it was exactly what I need in the moment It was I have since read another romance that you'll see in this weekend's vlog that tops this So in my mind I'm like thinking of that one a little bit but I really do enjoy Emily Henry and this is my favorite from her so far I've also read what have I read from her Beachreed and Happy Place I think are the only ones I've read from her before This is by far my favorite so far I understand why she's as popular as she is She's still like I still feel tentative to call her my girly though in the way I do with Ali Hazerwood and Abby Jimenez I just think this is like formulaically the perfect romance It had everything I want in a romance It had the right journey that I wanted in a romance I believe in love and yeah I just it was exactly what I did in the moment I needed something fun I needed something silly and it was exactly that Okay Then the top two I really struggled to like place at two and one They're interchangeable I reserve the right to change this in the future Like if my 10 favorite books of the year they could swap around I don't really know I'm on any given day even like I made this list yesterday and today I'm like do I feel like that I don't know I need to think about this Just they're basically tied So yeah just just whatever Number two is the final act of Juliet Willoughby Guys you need to read this book Barely anyone has read this book It is so good is so good We're following a story that has key points in three different timelines One is in 1938 in Paris Julia Willoughby who is an ays but also an artist perishes in a fire with her lover and her most famous painting self-portrait as Sphinx Then in Cambridge in 1991 which is the main timeline for the first half of this book there are two art students who are working together to kind of like uncover her legacy and find out more about her cuz she's kind of been lost to history And then most of the second half is set in Dubai in the present day as an art dealer is accused of the murder of his friend as he's auctioning off this painting self-portrait as Sphinx perhaps I loved this It is about forgotten women in history and bringing them back to life And you'll know I love reading non-fiction about forgotten women history It was really a real interest of mine Women's stories matter Yeah they just matter They do You know but it is just this perfectly down to mystery The art history world and art deal world is very interesting The characters all like burst off the page run off the page It's a perfectly paced mystery It deals with these different timelines so so well It we know I have issues with timelines It works really well for me that like the first half of the book is mainly set in one timeline with like flash forwards and backs to the other timelines and then we swap that to one of the other timelines mostly the second half with again flashbacks and backs No that's all backs cuz it's all that's the present timeline I think this is a great book I think it's a wonderful book and not enough people are reading it I think it just feels it feels so well researched At the back the authors cuz this is like a husband and wife writing duo They've left like a bibliography of of books that have informed different elements of this book It is so good It's so good It's a little bit dark academia cuz it's set at Cambridge in the first half There is just so much to love about this book and I need more people to read it Barely anyone's read it So many people have read The Club by them and like this I that hasn't got a great rating Don't be scared off This book is wonderful It is so well written The writing voice seems so accomplished I cannot shut up about it evidently I loved this book so much So please please go check it out And then number one again this this and that can interchange but it is Disney High by Ashley Spencer This is non-fiction about the Disney Channel in my era It is That's Raven It is Hannah Montana It is Sweet Life High School Musical Oh my god the two chapters in High School Musical Killed me Ashley Spencer has interviewed so many people both stars but people behind the scenes during this time directors producers in the Disney Channel Empire And I grew up on Disney Channel I loved the Disney Channel I loved Husky Music I loved Hannah Montana Like I loved Money Sus I love Jonas Brothers Like this was my era There was like the highest school chapters were a standout to me It was like certain like insights that blew me away Like Ryan and Sharpi hated each other in real life and Kenny Kenny Kenny Ortega was working these kids like the military I love watching like sometimes on Twitter the algorithm will just suddenly give me loads of behindthe-scenes High School Musical content and I just love it I just eat it up every single time High School Musical to me is the greatest kids films ever made So good And so I loved this book It was so fascinating hearing all these little insights You're hearing about how Zach and Vanessa first started dating or like on Hannah Montana Like Miley's journey in that was really interesting and like I loved Miley I was a member of Miley World Miles to Go greatest autobiography ever written I had so much fun reading this It was literally like my childhood It was the perfect non-fiction to me It reminded me of Reach for the Stars by Michael Craig which I read last year which was a history of like British pop but that was a little bit before my time whereas this is firmly like my childhood And so it was full of nostalgia If you watch the Disney Channel if you watch these shows I cannot recommend reading this enough Also the audio book is voiced by Miranda from Lizzie Magcguire which is such an interesting dynamic especially when she's like talking about stuff that happened to her basically when she like left Lizzie Maguire um and wasn't in the movie and stuff So yes I loved it I loved it so much and it was just such a fun read and also my first book of the year which was just such a way to start off my reading year So there we have it everyone That was my Courtley wrap-up I've been yapping for quite some time so I'm going to head off But let me know how your first quarter of the reading year went Did you have any standouts What were some of your bests and worsts And thank you so much for watching and I'll see you very soon in another video Bye
