Looking back at my reading this May has been a little surprising. While I’ve been reading on and off again, I’ve actually only finished one book. I started off the month strong and finished a book I’d been reading for three weeks, but then after that I started and finished one other book. In the…

Well, September was an interesting month and to end it with a hurricane was an unexpected surprise. I’ve been dealing with a lot of burnout recently from pretty much everything. It’s been a really long time since I’ve felt this way, but I hope to remedy the issue next month with a much more relaxed…

May was a difficult month for me this year. There’s a lot happening in the world. There’s a lot happening in my life and the two combined created a great evil that I couldn’t defeat. I burned myself out by mid-month and by the last week, I wasn’t reading anything at all. But despite the…

April was definitely full of challenges. Not only was I reading the books I set up for myself, but I also started doing some experiments on my reading life. Whenever I do experiments like this, I always end up burnt out and exhausted from reading. However, the challenges also share some interesting insights about my…

Returning to books after a month of moving has been a bit of a slog, but I feel like I’m coming back to my readerly self and finished the month strong with seven reads! While I did get a lot read this month, I also didn’t absolutely love everything I read. Don’t get me wrong,…

It’s the end of another month and I can’t believe it’s already gone. I took some time off this month because I was going on vacation and needed to take a break from everything. Have you ever taken a break and noticed how much you needed it? Well, I needed it. I read four books…

Have you ever started your month with some pretty hopeful feelings only to really struggle through it? I started August with a lot of hopeful reads and ended up with a completely different feeling than I had when I first started the month. Let me tell you how glad I am August is over so…

And just like that, another month is over. I can’t believe 2021 is moving so quickly and sometimes I forget that 2020 happened, so time doesn’t seem to want to stop for anyone. But I’ve been keeping busy starting the month with my husband’s birthday, taking some courses, and starting the Olympics. Have you been…

I can’t believe it’s the end of another month! It’s been a quiet reading month for me trying to juggle reading books while also starting my full time job. Apologies if I haven’t responded to your comments! I hope to make better of my time on here this month. But let’s get to the books.…

Happy end of another month! I swear, if I wasn’t paying attention the month would end much sooner than it does. While nothing much happened this month for me (another month in the pandemic), I did celebrate my wedding anniversary with my husband. I think this was the most eventful anniversary since we took some…
