February Books read this month: 10 Books read so far this year: 21 Another productive month of reading (mostly because I went on vacation and sat on the beach and read- sorry, not sorry). Read too many cozy mysteries again this month- I’m a bit of an addict. I went to a great book store […]
January Books read this month: 11 Last year my goal was 100 books and I did it! So it would be pretty boring to just I got pretty many books read this month because it was gross and cold and rainy and I would much rather stay inside and read than do anything else. Which […]

Books read this month: 4 Books read so far this year: 94 I set myself a goal for September, a goal which I almost decide to conveniently forget to mention, since I failed to complete it. The goal was to read one nonfiction book for every fiction book. It resulted in a pretty slow reading […]

Books read this month: 8 Books read so far this year: 76 My favorites: Armada by Ernest Cline- As previously raved about, I love Ready Player One, the first book by Ernest Cline.

Books read this month: 9 Books read so far this year: 68 Apparently this month’s theme was love and murder, two of my favorite reading topics (help- I can’t stop reading cozy mysteries!) Probably should spend this next month reflecting on how my voracious reading has given me unrealistic expectations for love (and a […]
Every month of this challenge I think to myself “okay, this will be the month where you read less mysteries and more of a variety of other types of books.” But alas, that will probably never happen. Though only about half the books I read this month were cozy mysteries, so maybe that’s progress? In […]

March Books read this month: 14 Books read so far this year: 41 More mysteries this month, but also a smattering of YA books (fun fact: I also review new YA books for the BAPL blog- check out Jenne’s Top Tenne here). I’m beginning to realize that that pretty much sums up my general reading […]
