December 2020 I think the month of December 2020 really encapsulated for me what a crap year it was for reading (and blogging). I only read 4 books the entire month (though I had 2 others “started” but sitting on my bedside table collecting dust) — I used to read that many books in a …
June 2020 I’m always a proud Canadian but these last few months have shown me how great this country truly is. The acts of kindness and compassion I’ve witnessed just warms my heart. And while we may not be celebrating the way we usually do, I know it will be a great day. My reading …
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 …
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 …
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 …
September 2019 In my August Inventory, I mentioned that I kinda felt like I was in a bit of a crisis when it comes to reading and blogging. But September didn’t totally feel the same. Maybe having a purpose or direction (ie reading only sequels) helped me feel like I was getting stuff accomplished even …
June 2019 In May, I made a lot of changes when it came to my reading and blogging and June was the first month of trying out this new approach…and it was pretty great! I had a two main tasks I wanted to get done this past month. One: I finished all the ARCs I …
May 2019 I made lots of changes when it comes to my reading and blogging this month…and it feels pretty great! Here are some of the big changes I made: I am no longer participating in blog tours I unsubscribed from (nearly) all my mailing lists — more in my State of the ARC section …
March 2019 I’m only 3 months in, but I can tell 2019 is going to be a different sort of year for me. Get ready for a long, reflective post 😛 Compared to previous years, I find I visit my blog only a handful of times during the week to write new posts and do …
January 2019 Well, what a start to the new year! I’m not sure everything went to plan for me in January but I had a lot of changes this past month and it’s no surprise that my read reflects that. I recently moved closer to work–which has been fantastic with the weather of late (I …
