Monday Moods: Vampires

So…as #5OnMyTBR seems to have come to an end (unfortunately, as I very much enjoyed it!) I thought I’d continue with something similar…basically, welcome to Monday Moods, where each week I’ll spotlight TBR books that fit into a particular reading ‘mood’. As you can tell from this first one, I am being generous with whatContinueContinue reading “Monday Moods: Vampires”

2025 Reading Challenges Update #2

This year feels like a weird one already – on the one hand, I can’t believe it’s March. On the other…it’s only March? Things feel very up and down, but all I can do right now is keep pushing forward. And books are such a great source of joy and escape in difficult times. 2025ContinueContinue reading “2025 Reading Challenges Update #2”
