What I Read in November
I read two whole books in November, which I maybe should have read more given I was going for a No-Spend November, but I didn’t. I did read a whole book in one evening, which was lovely. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness I read this book because I watched the television series last…

What I Read in October
I only read one book in November, Horse by Geraldine Brooks. It left me with such a reading hangover that I’ve only just recovered from it this past Sunday. Nearly three weeks after I finished this book and I have only just been able to read again thanks to fantasy novels. Horse tells the story…

What I Read in September
September was booked and busy. But I did still get a couple books read! And now that I’m looking at them again, they are pretty thick, which is satisfying! The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins I initially had no interest in reading this book. I do occasionally re-read The Hunger Games trilogy,…

What I Read in August
I’m quite impressed with the fact that I read three books in August when I only had one day off, and I spent the whole day travelling to Toronto for a wedding, so I was not reading that day. So I’m very pleased with myself. Bad Cree by Jessica Johns. This was our work book…

What I read in June

What I Read in April
April was a big month for finishing books that I have been working on for a while. I’ve been working on the non-fiction for a few months, reading a few pages every day. It’s the most effective way of reading boring books and actually finishing them. Emergency Preparedness by Don Philpott. This was given to…

What I Read in March
The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins Listen, the Hunger Games resurgence on TikTok got to me, I was seeing all these videos about the movies and the books and I just had to re-read them to get back to what the story actually is rather than all these theories and interpretations.…

What I Read in February
In February I try to only read books written by Black authors, for Black history month. However, I hadn’t properly prepared this year and I ran out of books and since I don’t live in a town that has a book store and I haven’t joined the library in town yet (and then was sidelined…

What I Read in January
January was a great month of reading, not because I read a lot, but because the books were fun. They were light, they were fluffy, there was some murder, there was some sex, there were gorgeous Italian villas, ancient libraries, and museum archives. It was just a great time. Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy…

What I Read in December
I was planning on including this in my January State of the Union post but it was all just becoming too long, so I may play it by ear each month, if I read a lot it gets it’s own post, if I don’t read a lot then maybe it may get put in the…
