A new year has come, a new day has dawned, and that means it is time for the sacred tradition of reflecting on the past year with the most important question of all – what did I read? Was any of it good?
That’s right, it’s time for THE RY AWARDS, the least important of all literary awards, given to books read in the past year by Ry!
