July 2026 Reading Wrap-Up | Not Every Book Is Going to Be a Favourite
If June was a reminder that a full life is better than a full TBR, then July was a reminder that not every book is going to be my book. On paper, the numbers aren’t particularly impressive. I finished two books, read 592 pages, and my average rating for the …
June 2026 Reading Wrap Up
A Full Life Is Better Than a Full TBR For a long time, I measured a reading month by one thing: how many books I finished. Three books? That would have felt disappointing. Now, looking back at June, I don’t see a disappointing month at all. I see one that …

2023 Reading Wrap-up
I ended up having such a good reading year in 2023 and I’m still completely and utterly gleeful about it. I read 86 books, which is over 25 more than in 2022 – I set it at 50 and adjusted it many times because I kept hitting and exceeding it …
June 2023 Reading Wrap-Up
I had quite the good reading month in June and finished 9 books Kaleb Cooper – The World According To Kaleb I am honestly not sure what the point of this book was. Other than to make money. Like most fans of Clarkson’s Farm, I utterly adored Kaleb but this …
