June 2018 After a very busy May, June seemed like a break in a lot of ways. My main goal for the month was to catch up on ARCs and to read books I already had in my possession. And for the most part, I think I did that. I’m in much better shape now …
May 2018 Throughout the month of May, I felt like I never read a book for longer than 20 minutes at a time. Books I should have finished in 2-3 days took me over a week (something unheard of for me); ARCs began to pile up (though I was good on my promise not to request more); and I scarcely …
April 2018 When I first thought of starting a blog 5 years ago, I really didn’t think I would still be with it 5 years later. Hobbies for me usually come and go thanks to my attention span. But reading is something I’ve been passionate about since high school and it’s that passion that has …
March 2018 I’ve known March was going to be a weird reading month since late January this year and it definitely lived up to that expectation. As I mentioned in my February Recap post, my “big city” library card from my school days expired mid-February. I did my best to read as many books as …
February 2018 Looking back at the month of February, I didn’t get everything done that I wanted to. I blame a few key factors. First, the Winter Olympics were on! I’m OBSESSED with the Olympics, and in particular the Winter ones (the Canadian in me likes the ice sports what can I say!). For those …
January 2018 January was an interesting reading month for me. I created my 2018 Reading Plan so I had a few “to-dos” to accomplish this past month. Did I meet them? Yes for the most part! I did request more ARCs than I anticipated (and set for myself)…oops. I also had to squeeze in a …
December 2017 Can you believe it’s the end of 2017 already? I know I can’t! This was a year of big changes for me. I (finally) said goodbye to the student life and hello to my career in healthcare. Starting shift work has brought a lot of challenges my way but it has also been …
November 2017 As I created this post, I struggled with how to describe the month of November. It seems like just yesterday I was plotting out my NaNoWriMo story and writing the first chapter. Overall, I think the best way to describe it all is panicked. Just before my big trip in September, I noticed …
October 2017 I can’t believe October has come and gone! This month just flew by! It definitely helped that I spent a majority of it on vacation. I managed to get more books in than I expected–and in particular sequels for novels I’ve been putting off for awhile–so I always consider that a positive! My …
September 2017 This was a weird month. In terms of reading: This wasn’t a very good month, but I always knew that would be the case. I spent half of the month on a much deserved vacation that had me reading only a couple pages every few days. I made up for some of that …
