337.

My usual gaming and writing wrap-ups for the year will be coming at some point—hopefully soon?—but before then, I thought I’d drop off this book-related ask meme that I saw on tumblr. I read quite a bit, but usually do my reading-related wrap ups in real life or real life-adjacent spaces instead of over here—but this is a meme, not a full wrap-up, and it looks quite fun, so I’m making a quasi-exception.

I think everyone knows how these work, but for formality’s sake: leave a comment with the numbers of any of the questions you’re interested in knowing the answers to, and I’ll answer them! Feel free to ask as many as you like.
