This survey was created by Jana over at The Perpetural Page-turner. She doesn't seem to have made a post for it this year, that I can find, but I like this survey so I decided to do it anyway.
Anyway, this feels like a fitting first post after my small break, I hope everybody had a great Holiday season.
