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 January 2021 Wrap Up
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 Wrap Up
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 Wrap Up
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
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, 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
First of all... I failed my book-buying ban for July. I made it so far into the month without buying books, then broke on the 25th. Though, doing the math, I did make it 28 days without buying a book, so that counts... right? I didn't read as much as I thought I would this … Continue reading July Wrap Up
I'm sitting here trying to think of whether or not June went by really fast or not. At times it feels like it did, but at the same time it doesn't feel that way. I still think the quickest month of the year was May. But that could just be me. In any case, June … Continue reading June Wrap Up
Is this something anyone else does? I have no idea. But with my obsession of spreadsheets lately, I decided to revamp my Book Inventory sheet. And honestly, it needed an update. I was a little behind on adding books into it, so I had no clue of exactly how many books I have. Honestly, I … Continue reading Keeping Inventory of My Books
As someone who frequents the nearest bookstore on a regular basis, even if all I do is get a coffee and browse, I really missed going during the state lock-down. While some of my favorite smaller shops are still closed, the Barnes and Nobles stores that are close to me are open for business once … Continue reading Post-Quarantine Book Haul
I feel like May has been the shortest month of the year so far... weird, right? If I'm the only one that feels that way, then it might be because May is my birthday month and it always goes by quickly to me. Or it could be because I started back at work and the … Continue reading May Haul and Wrap Up
Hey everyone! It's finally May... or the 5th level of Jumanji as some people are calling it. I hope you're all doing well! I actually had a hell of a month which included 2-3 weeks of intense pain and ended up with surgery the day before my birthday this past weekend. April was a slow … Continue reading April Haul and Wrap Up
March is usually one of my slower months of reading, but this year... I read a lot more. Granted, we've all been at home since about the middle of the month, which leaves a lot of extra time for reading. Oddly though, I feel like I got more reading done before I started working from … Continue reading March Haul and Wrap Up
As always, February flew by after the five years that was January, yet somehow I was still able to get through seven books for the month. It's surprising because I didn't read as fast as I usually do, nor did I pick up any mangas to up the numbers. One of the books though, I'd … Continue reading February Haul and Wrap Up
January started off strong with reading, but kind of slowed down as I started going through some personal/spiritual things mid-month (which feels like a lot longer, honestly). I can't really explain it, but my fellow Christians will know that sometimes we go through rough patches in our walk with God. Mine happened right after I … Continue reading January Haul and Wrap Up
