The arrival of September has brought another month of reading to an end. As an avid reader, I always look forward to sinking into a good book – though not everything I read ends up falling into that category. Reading is my favorite hobby, a way to escape the world or learn something new. Over the years, my TBR grew to an enormous amount. But with dedicating, a bit of purging, and limiting new purchases I have put a significant dent in it. Every month, I read as much as I can and love to share my thoughts on those books. So, without further ado,Read More →

Another month of reading has come to an end. As an avid reader, I always look forward to seeing how many books I read in a particular month and how much I love or hate those books – though I always hope I enjoy them. Over the years, my TBR got a bit out of control. However, focusing on the books that I own and limiting new purchases allowed me to whittle that TBR down quite a bit. After two years of reading my own books, it has shrunk quite a bit. Another part I enjoy is sharing what books I read. Not only doesRead More →

With the arrival of June, it’s time to take a moment to look back on the books I read during May. Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. It allows me to explore far-off worlds, learn something new and simply entertain myself for a few hours. Of course, this love of books can lead to an enormous TBR. However, with a lot of dedication over the last two years, I have managed to reduce my TBR by quite a lot. This May 2021 reading wrap-up goes over the books I read during the month and what I thought about them. Perhaps by sharing these books,Read More →

With the arrival of May, it’s time to take a moment to back at the books I read during April. Each month I do my best to read as much as I can. Some months are better than others, but I am determined to get through all of the books that I own. Over the last two years, I have been able to take my enormous TBR down to a more reasonable amount and it shrinks with every month. Reading is one of my favorite activities, it provides entertainment and a chance to learn something new. It doesn’t matter if you read one book aRead More →

With the arrival of April, it’s time to take a moment to look back at the books I read in March. When it comes to hobbies, reading is at the top of my list. Reading is an escape, a form of entertainment, and a way to expand my knowledge in various topics. A while ago, I felt like my enormous TBR was completely overwhelming and that I would never get through it. Yet two years later, I was surprised by how much progress I had made with my TBR. One great thing about the books I read this month was that there were so manyRead More →

Reading is one of my favorite activities to do and I look forward to discovering new stories and authors. Exploring books every month not only allows me to enjoy these stories but also helps me to reduce my enormous TBR into something a bit more manageable.

Another month of reading has come to an end. January is the month where readers often set goals of how many books they want to read in the year. I used to do this, but now I no longer set number goals, outside of a minimum per month. That is because I mainly want to focus on enjoying the books I am reading and ensure I am working through my TBR. With every month that passes and every book read, I have managed to take my TBR from an overwhelming pile of books to something far more manageable. This January 2021 reading wrap-up showcases theRead More →

With the arrival of January, it’s time to take a moment and look back at the books I read in December. This month was filled with holiday preparation, the first few heavy snowfalls of winter, and that overwhelming desire for the year to be over. The goal I had set for myself was to read 5 books during the month, something I can usually easily do. However, this month I found myself either not feeling like reading or simply not setting aside the time each day. Despite this, I was able to squeeze in just enough reading to hit that goal. Doing so helped toRead More →

Another month of reading has come to an end. November was a fairly busy month with NaNoWriMo taking up the vast majority of my time. Then toss in the release of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands and I honestly didn’t think I would have much time for reading. Though my goal was to get through five books, I had a sneaking suspicion I wouldn’t get beyond two books read. However, I could never have imagined that I would read so much given everything I had going on but I am pleasantly surprised by my reading this month. This November 2020 reading wrap-up goes over the booksRead More →
