October 2021 Wrap Up

October 31, 2021October 30, 20211 Comment

In the past few years, October is usually the month where I go into a bad reading slump. However, this year, I read sixteen books. Yeah, sixteen. It's not the most I've read in a month (that would be 25 books in January of 2019) but it's the most I've read for a month in … Continue reading October 2021 Wrap Up

September 2021 Wrap Up

October 1, 2021June 16, 2022Leave a comment

September was a better month than I expected in a few ways. Granted, it flew by very quickly, but it was a good month. Obviously I had my sad moments - September 11th for the anniversary of the Twin Towers going down and the lives lost, as well as the 5th anniversary of my gramma's … Continue reading September 2021 Wrap Up

August 2021 Wrap Up

September 2, 2021June 16, 20222 Comments

I was on a roll at the beginning of the month with reading. I've since slowed down a little, but it's not a slump. Just busy with other things. Also, how is it September already?? I mean, I love fall so I'm glad it's almost here, but this year is just flying by. I'm not … Continue reading August 2021 Wrap Up

July 2021 Wrap Up

August 3, 2021June 16, 20224 Comments

July gave me my reading groove back! I was so excited to finally be in a major reading mood again and enjoy the work that these authors put out there. I feel myself slipping a little now, but I think that's just due to some stress and not knowing what to read next. But I … Continue reading July 2021 Wrap Up

June 2021 Wrap Up

July 6, 2021June 16, 20221 Comment

I found my pace more in June for reading, though it did take me while to read Pride and Prejudice. I was glad that I was able to get one last book in by the end of the month, literally having started it on the 28th and unsure if I would actually finish it on … Continue reading June 2021 Wrap Up

May 2021 Wrap Up

June 1, 2021June 16, 20221 Comment

May was a much better month for reading. I found my groove again and I cannot be happier. I still didn't read as many books as I usually do in a month, but life has been happening... so I'm not too upset about it. In general, May was just a fantastic month, or at least … Continue reading May 2021 Wrap Up

April 2021 Wrap Up

May 14, 2021June 16, 2022Leave a comment

April was very similar to March in that I didn't get much reading done, especially in the second half of the month. In fact, I think I went two straight weeks without reading a book. I was still reading though... only it was fanfiction. I somehow went from reading Descendants fanfiction to Glee. The Gleek … Continue reading April 2021 Wrap Up

March 2021 Wrap Up

April 2, 2021June 16, 2022Leave a comment

Ughh.... March failed me, you guys. I have been in such a reading slump for most of the month, unless you count fanfiction. I mean, it counts but doesn't count. I can't put it toward my reading goals for the year, but at least I'm reading, right? I've just been on a Descendants kick, again, … Continue reading March 2021 Wrap Up

February 2021 Wrap Up

March 5, 2021June 16, 2022Leave a comment

I'm not sure if January felt like it took forever or if it went by quick. Maybe somewhere in between, I guess. Though I will say the last few days dragged a bit, but I think that's because of the major cold front New England got. I've lived here my entire life and I hate … Continue reading February 2021 Wrap Up

December 2020 Wrap Up

December 31, 2020June 15, 2022Leave a comment

Congratulations everyone! We finished the fifth year of 2020! While I know everything won't magically get better when the clock hits midnight, it's nice to think that 2021 is a fresh start. New year, new goals (well, reading goals), and honestly, I'm just a fan of odd numbered years. Maybe because my birthday is literally … Continue reading December 2020 Wrap Up

November 2020 Wrap Up

December 2, 2020June 15, 20223 Comments

It took a while, but I finally got my reading mojo back! Now I'm in the mood to read all the books, but have little time to read as many as I'm wanting to. I do think I'll be able to get a decent amount in, especially because December means that I read children's Christmas … Continue reading November 2020 Wrap Up

October Wrap Up

November 4, 2020June 15, 20225 Comments

One thing I learned in October... I cannot make potential TBR lists for the month because those end up being my worst reading months. Once again, I only got through one book, while trying to read another. So for the next two months, I'm just reading whatever I feel like reading... no themes, no planned … Continue reading October Wrap Up

September Wrap Up

October 1, 2020June 15, 2022Leave a comment

How is it October already?! I mean, I'm happy because it's my favorite month, but I feel like September just began. I guess moving will make the time fly, huh? So yes, I moved and I'm still getting settled in my new place - there's so much that still has to get done. It's not even … Continue reading September Wrap Up

August Wrap Up

September 1, 2020June 15, 2022Leave a comment

August, to put it simply... was a bust. For the entire 31 days of the month I managed to read one book. ONE. BOOK. I know it's nothing to be ashamed of, it just kind of shocks me that I wasn't able to pull out of my reading slump as quickly as usual. And to … Continue reading August Wrap Up

One of my favorite manga series. It’s so cute (and only 3 volumes!). I definitely recommend this one to anyone new to manga so they don’t get overwhelmed😅
A series I highly recommend. It’s 12 books long, but you wouldn’t know it with how fast it goes by. Eye opening and intense is the best way to describe it.
My review for Love on the Brain is up on my blog! Even though I have a bad relationship with science, I enjoyed reading about women in STEM.
#QOTD: Do you read graphic novels?
Already started a book for the #tbrtacklechallenge! Going with the shortest book since I do have to get it back to the library soon 😅
Happy February all! January was a rough month for me personally, so here’s hoping this month is filled with better news and blessings!
