March ’20 Wrap Up

How the world can change in a month… and yet I still read on, because what else can I do? 😁

Last month I read 60 books*!
*counting novellas and graphic novels

I read quite a few shorter books this month…

Here are the top 10 books I read this month:

• Guild Codex: Spellbound & Demonized by Annette Marie
  Loved these so much I already want to re-read them. Gimme gimme gimme! Honestly, these are ones I need to buy.
• October Daye #4 & #5 by Seanan McGuire
  Glad I gave this series another chance. I’m enjoying it~
• Sinister Magic by Lauren Buroker
  This series? So, it is hilarious. I’m loving it.
• Blasphemy by TJ Klune
  It may be short but WOW it lit up my day. This will be a future re-read for sure.
• The Lightning-Struck Heart by TJ Klune
  Hilarious — so funny I had to put it down and try calm breathing techniques in the breakroom so people didn’t think I was nuts.
• The Bird and The Sword by Amy Harmon
  Wow this one is beautifully written. I loved reading it.
• The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
  Yes, another TJ Klune, I was on a roll this month. This was my favorite of the month.
• The Emperor’s Edge by Lindsay Buroker
  The dry humor here, the fun adventure with a family-type crew coming togrther– this was fun.
• Baking Me Crazy by Karla Sorenson
  So cute!!

February ’20 Wrap Up

How is the first week of March already almost over and I haven’t even gotten to my end/beginning of the month posts??? Let’s get to it!! 

Last month I read 53 books*!

Getting onto a routine and finally getting back to normal has improved my reading ^_^

Here are the top 10 books I read this month:

My 2020 Goals & Resolutions

Hey all! 😎

I wanted to share my goals and resolutions for next year. Here’s the thing, I usually don’t set life resolutions– I just let them drop, but this time around I think I’ll be trying to also write them down and place them somewhere I’ll notice them often. My life needs a positive change this year. And as for reading goals/challenges… well, I dropped them in 2019. I think I made a few too specific, put too much stress on doing too much, and I’m also blaming my lifestyle for losing my motivation to work on the goals — I’ll do a wrap up of my 2019 challenges in another post. 

My 2019 Challenges

Hey all 🙂

I wanted to share my challenges/goals for next year with you all! I’ve been truly debating what kinds of challenges I would set up for myself this year, since reading for challenges can sometimes not work out for me. I tend to rebel against obligation reading these days. Any time I feel like I have to read something, I start putting it off. This is a mindset I need to work on for sure, but I haven’t been sure if having challenges would make it worse…
And yet, I feel like having goals and challenges give my reading some direction when I need it. 

In conclusion: These are totally my reading challenges, BUT I’m not going to stress about them. They are there to guide my reading and help me, but if I don’t finish I’m not going to feel horrible. I’m also not going to force myself to finish a book just to complete a challenge/prompt.

I’m Joining Round 7 of Tome Topple!

Me? Joining a Readathon?? I’m honestly a bit shocked myself. 

Longer books usually aren’t my jam — I get intimidated and worry I’m not reading fast enough [although this last issue is a whole other issue I will probably be talking about later], but there are in fact longer books on my TBR that I want to read. 

So, when I saw that Melanie over at Meltotheany was joining this round of Tome Topple, I looked into it and realized it is the perfect time for me to join in. 

I’ve got some longer books I want to read by the end of the year and I have a 4 day weekend because of the holiday.
