JayneCM Opens Doors In 2025

I am Jayne, a book lover for as long as I can remember.

This is my seventh year in the challenge. I am always too ambitious but you can never read too much!

“Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and go through into another world.” – Jeanette Winterson

My 'handle' on discord and Youtube is "IReadCerealBoxes" so a few years back I made my own TBR/reading challenge board game based on 1980s cereal boxes. I will be playing this in 2024 to make four of my book choices each month.

And still working on my Read Around The World challenge, to read a book set in every country.
