4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I love to read and take part in reading challenges each month which has made my reading pace really pick up the last few years. I'm a die hard Supernatural fan, go to cons and even write fanfic for the show. I have one dog, 6 cats and the best husband ever.

Last reverse readathon my best friend was reading with my husband and I. Covid has made that too risky so it's just me and my husband, though I'll be checking in with my bestie throughout.
