My 2025 Year in Books Ranked

Hello, everyone! 2025 was an interesting year for me involving moving, starting a new job (at a library!), and a whole lot of life changes overall. Unfortunately, my reading pace suffered because of it. I spent much of the early year rereading childhood favorites, and the rest has been a little hodgepodge since. There aren't… Continue reading My 2025 Year in Books Ranked

2025 Mid-Year Freak Out Book Tag (+ Mid-Year Wrap-Up)

I've had this post sitting in my drafts for quite some time, anticipating my typical mid-year interest in returning to blogging after an unannounced hiatus (I think I can officially call it a trend after 2023 and 2024).

My 2024 Year in Books Ranked

October ’24 Wrap-Up: In Which Audiobooks Continue Revolutionizing My Reading

Hello, everyone! I can't believe it's November -- where has this year gone?

I'd say I got some good reading… Continue reading October ’24 Wrap-Up: In Which Audiobooks Continue Revolutionizing My Reading

September ’24 Wrap-Up: Finally Escaping a Year-Long Slump (Fingers Crossed)

I've not read very much throughout the month overall but the last several days have been packed with a good deal more than usual.

2024 Mid-Year Freak Out Book Tag (+ Mid-Year Wrap-Up)

Hello, everyone! Long time, no talk. I seem to be saying that a lot, I'm sorry about that!

April ’24 Wrap-Up: Reassessing (Still)

Hello, everyone! If you saw the outline for this post in your feed a few days ago, I'm so sorry about that!
