July 2024 Monthly Wrap-up

July was a fantastic reading month! I read 8 books, which is a personal best! Before this month, the most books I’d ever read in one month was 6. I honestly don’t know if I can keep up this momentum. At least I’m loving most of the books I’ve reading, no matter how many I read.

My favorite book this month was a toss up between FOURTH WING by Rebecca Yarros and THE NO-SHOW by Beth O’Leary. I didn’t really have a least favorite book this month.

June 2024 Monthly Wrap-up

My reading suffered a lot in March and April thanks to my health issues. Even though I didn’t feel like starting any new-to-me books in May, I did reread the first three Harry Potter books via audio. I then finished rereading the series in June.

Because I didn’t read any new-to-me books in June either, this post’s more about updating my year-to-date stats and posting my plans for July than anything else. I’m hoping my reading will get back on track in July with some new-to-me books.

I learned in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) that life is full of dialectics, or two opposing truths. In this case, the two opposing truths are: 1) I don’t agree with JKR’s stance regarding trans people, and 2) I still love Harry Potter.

February 2024 Monthly Wrap-up

February has been another awesome reading month. I read six books, which is the most books I’ve read in a single month since January 2022. Three of those six books were read in the last week–totally unheard of for me. I guess I needed to make up for not being able to read read while I was dizzy and nauseated because of my mega sinus infection.

My favorite book this month was THIS SPELLS LOVE by Kate Robb. I didn’t really have a least favorite book this month.

January 2024 Monthly Wrap-up

January has been an awesome month. I’m starting 2024 off right. Not only did I start blogging again, I’ve filled my reading bucket quite full. I participated in Bout of Books at the beginning of the month. I finished one book during the event and three others during the rest of the month.

My favorite book this month is a toss up between REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES by Shelby Van Pelt and BOOK LOVERS by Emily Henry. Two very different stories and genres, but I loved both. I didn’t really have a least favorite book this month.
