Monthly Inventory: May 2020

May 2020 This was a weird month for me. Things started on such a high following a great April (reading wise) and I was optimistic things were on the right track for the rest of the month. I celebrated 7 years of blogging at the start of the month. It’s crazy that I’ve been doing …

Monthly Inventory: April 2020

April 2020 Last month I was finding it harder than normal to concentrate on reading. I found myself picking up other hobbies like knitting or taking an online course to learn Python coding. And if it wasn’t an audiobook, I likely didn’t pick it up. But April seemed to be a total 180! Work was …

Monthly Inventory: March 2020

March 2020 Given the current state of the world right now it almost feels trivial to recap my reading for the month. But as someone who works in healthcare right now, it’s nice to have a distraction from everything right now. Before my city declared a State of Emergency, they announced that the library would …

Monthly Inventory: February 2020

February 2020 It might be the shortest month of the year, but I sure packed a lot of reading in this past month! It helped that my work schedule (and some snowy days) allowed me to stay home and curl up on the couch with my many books. This is the last full month I …

Monthly Inventory: January 2020

January 2020 It’s the start of a new decade and new resolutions! I always start with the best intentions and things get put to the wayside. So I’m keeping it simple this year and keeping things both flexible and somewhat generalized. January wasn’t totally the start I wanted for my reading. I got a little …

Monthly Inventory: December 2019

December 2019 What a year 2019 was! There were definitely some highs and lows when it comes to things personal and reading/blogging but overall, it was a year of growth as I shift my life priorities. I reflected back on my monthly recaps for 2019 as I wrote up this summary and they were a …

Monthly Inventory: November 2019

November 2019 I have no idea where this month went! Honestly! I was feeling so good about my reading back in October and then this month just had to go and ruin that momentum. But I did get a lot done even if it wasn’t as much as I wanted (though it is surprisingly better …

Monthly Inventory: October 2019

October 2019 For me, October was all about catching-up on books I’ve put off for too long. The first half of the month was dedicated to finishing up my last remaining ARCs; while the latter half was about finishing some sequels I had started in September (or had taken out from the library forever ago). …
