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 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!

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.

What I Read in December
So it turns out I wasn’t in a reading rut, I was approaching burn out and exhaustion and all I needed was a good break and a few good nights sleep to want to and be able to read again. This is a gorgeous book and will be the start of my coffee table stack.…

What I Read in November
I am definitely still in a bit of a reading rut. I read just one book in September, nothing in October (to the point where I had a post planned for early November about being in a reading rut, but then I read a book in a day (a snow day) and I thought I…

What I Read in August
I read a lot in August. Really I read a lot this past weekend, there is something about fantasy YA books that I just rip through. I also had a stack of new books thanks to my birthday splurge that was very stimulating. Let’s get into the books: The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles…

What I Read in July
July was one of the reading months where I tried to make myself read some books that I had purchased, somewhat on a whim, simply out of joy of being in a bookstore and most of them were mediocre at best. I also kind of think that I was trying to make myself read and…
