August was a more relaxing month, and I got more reading done. My mom is doing a lot better, and things have calmed down at home, although I used that time to take care of more of my own health issues. Reading is my number one coping skill, […]
July was a super stressful month on the home front. My mom had a major surgery, and I spent a bunch of time rushing back and forth between the hospital, on the phone trying to coordinate care for her, and trying to meet her needs while still working […]
June was a busy month for me, and it was still pretty stressful. I’m so grateful for my friends and good books, because they’ve kept me from completely falling apart. In other news, America officially sucks and I’m so embarrassed to live here. Reading has become an escape […]
May was one of the most stressful months that I can remember in a long time. We had to put one of my dogs to sleep, and another dog went into congestive heart failure the next week, followed by some major health issues for my mom resulting in […]
April was a long month, and I was struggling with reading physical books for a lot of it, despite the huge TBR shelf that I have waiting for me. I wound up reading more books than before (44 books!), although a lot of them were audiobooks, and then […]
March felt like it went by so quickly, but it still doesn’t quite feel like springtime here. We even got some snow squalls towards the end of the month. I read less books this month, but got a lot of ARCs read, even though I also got approved […]
I know February is a short month, but this one felt like it went by way faster than usual. I’m not sure how I managed to read 2 more books than last month with 3 days less, but I’m not complaining, and I get the feeling I’m going […]
Just when I thought December was my best reading month, I managed to read even more in January. Somehow I read a ridiculous number of books (40!), and still stayed on top of a bunch of other stuff that needed to be done. I’m hoping this is a […]
I finished December with 12 ARCs left to be read. In January, I got approved for 11 new ARCs, and so many of them were books I was really excited for. However, I didn’t read nearly as many ARCs as I was hoping to, although I did get […]
December was my best reading month out of the whole year (38 books!), and it actually wound up being a rather low-stress month. I always find myself reflecting on the year during December, and while 2021 was definitely another dumpster fire of a year, there was also a […]
