2025 Reading Challenges Update #11

Another month, and time for the last update of 2025! The next update will come in early January 2026, before we start all over again and I post about what challenges I’ll be doing for that year. I’ve done okay the last month, and actually completed challenges (though some still have bonus books if IContinueContinue reading “2025 Reading Challenges Update #11”

2025 Reading Challenges Update #10

This is where I start entering mild panic mode – I definitely, absolutely took on too many challenges this year, and though I’ve loved each individual challenge and the opportunity to explore books across various genres, I absolutely need to cut down on the ones I’m doing for next year. Anyway, let’s see how IContinueContinue reading “2025 Reading Challenges Update #10”

2025 Reading Challenges Update #9

We are very rapidly approaching the end of the year and I’m…not as far on the reading challenges as I would like, at this stage. Some I’m still hopeful about, but I definitely think for next year I’m going to reduce the amount I’m doing, maybe just by one, though I’m still looking at aContinueContinue reading “2025 Reading Challenges Update #9”

2025 Reading Challenges Update #8

Unlike last month, I’m actually getting to this fairly late – other stuff has taken over recently, so I haven’t been able to work on the blog as much as I would like. I have been consistently reading, but slower with the audiobook. And it’s getting to the point where I’m starting to worry aboutContinueContinue reading “2025 Reading Challenges Update #8”

2025 Reading Challenges Update #7

For various reasons, I’m writing this up relatively early – closer to the middle of July than the end. It’s partly because of some upcoming stuff that’s going to take me away from my laptop and this blog for a few days, so I’m getting as much done ‘in advance’ as I can. I actuallyContinueContinue reading “2025 Reading Challenges Update #7”

2025 Reading Challenges Update #6

We’re over halfway through the year, so ideally I should be over halfway through my reading challenges, though it hasn’t quite worked out like that (yet). I’m hoping the next two months or so see me completing a couple, so I can focus on the bigger ones. For next year, I’m definitely going to doContinueContinue reading “2025 Reading Challenges Update #6”

Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Summer 2025 to-Read List

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. It’s summer already? This year is going way too fast!ContinueContinue reading “Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Summer 2025 to-Read List”

2025 Reading Challenges Update #5

I’m as intrigued as always to see how I’ve done with these challenges over the last month, however I should note I’ve made attempts more recently to slow down my reading. I’ve fallen more behind on my reviews than I would like, so I’m trying to give myself a bit more time right now. AndContinueContinue reading “2025 Reading Challenges Update #5”

2025 Reading Challenges Update #4

More reading challenges updates! I feel like this was a good month for reading, but that might have come to a bit of a standstill now thanks to some issues with my Kindle! At this point, I’m just really hoping I haven’t now lost the arcs I had on there. But it does mean I’llContinueContinue reading “2025 Reading Challenges Update #4”
