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…

Reading Recap: November Continues
I bring you another week’s worth of reading recap as November continues! After feeling some motivation after last week’s reading, this week I got to two titles that were big on feminism. They featured powerful female characters and powerful messages. Or perhaps I should say “warnings.” Both were extremely satisfying. 1. The Lost Apothecary –…

Reading Recap: November’s Start
November’s start is now behind us. I got two books read from cover to cover, even though I was reading more slowly this week than I usually do. I went a bit heavy on the doom scrolling. This week I’m intend to redouble my efforts to avoid that, so the next list might be longer.…

Spooky Season Reading Recap: Week Three
It’s hard to believe that Spooky Season Week Three is already over with and in the books! I got a bit less reading done this week than my average has been as of late. Both my kid and I got sick, and I ended up with an unexpected workload in addition to all my usual…
