Reading Recap: Halfway Through February
It’s tough to believe that we’re already halfway through February, but here we are. Just look at the calendar! This month has been flying by! Then again, so has my reading list. After finishing off what I’d started last week, I was just diving into the next one along with a 400-page beta read for…

Reading Recap: Into February
We’re now well into February on the second Monday of the shortest month. I got to spend a good chunk of time in the books this week with a couple of snowstorms rolling through my area. I love those days when I don’t need to be anywhere and I can simply dig in. This past…

Reading Recap: End of January
We’ve done it. We’ve officially reached the end of January! We’re now in the first few days of the second month of 2025. This past week, I read through two books. One was on the longer side and the other was much shorter – more of a novella or novelette than a full-length novel. Both…

Reading Recap: Somehow Still January
It’s already been another week, but somehow it is still January. I know it’s like this every year, but I still never expect January to drag on the way it always does. This is the time of year that New England weather is at its least hospitable, and there’s lots of illness going around. My…

Reading Recap: Still More January
We’ve reached the third Monday of 2025 already. That means I’m back to recap more January reading I’ve gotten done. This week I was pressed up against a deadline for some work projects, but still managed to sneak some good reading time in. I’ve now gotten everything submitted, and even moved all my bookish TikTok…

Reading Recap: Another Week in January
It’s hard to believe it’s already Monday again and we’ve completed another week in January 2025! This week really flew by for me. I don’t know if the rest of you felt that too? Because I also had an increase in my workload, I only had enough time to start and finish one book this…

Reading Recap: The New Year 2025
We are officially in the new year 2025! This week, I finished the last book that I’d started in 2024. I then picked up and subsequently completed my first full book of the year. I certainly started the year off on a high note with these two reads. One was a comfort read centered around…

Favorite Reads of 2024
Tonight marks the end of 2024. It’s been quite a year. Not only did I download a new app to start tracking my reading habits again, I started a new series of Tiktok videos and blogs to recap everything I read. My first post in my #InTheBooks series featured every book I had read in…

Reading Recap: December Holidays
The big week of December holidays has now come and gone. It was a hectic one for sure! There were a few days this week where I found it rather tricky to sit still long enough to get much reading done. There was a lot to do to prepare for all the family gatherings and…

Reading Recap: Beginning December
Here we are, already beginning December, the month to end the year. Maybe I’m just getting older, but every year is feeling shorter than the last and 2024 has certainly been no exception. This week, I read through two emotionally intense works of fiction. These books absolutely put me through the ringer, and I loved…

Reading Recap: End of November
We’ve reached the end of November! It’s hard to believe that we’ve already reached the final month of 2024, and yet here we are. Even with all the chaos of Thanksgiving and then falling victim to a migraine the next day, I managed to read another two books this past week. I heard about the…

Reading Recap: More November
It’s Monday again, and that means I’m back again to recap some more November reading! Last week had a feminist theme running through it. The topic wasn’t as highlighted in this week’s reading, but both books still included a strong female lead. Truthfully, I didn’t plan to follow any theme this week, but there ended…
