The 20 Books I Read in October

I took my big solo road trip this month, so I did NOT expect to finish this many books, but a few audiobooks on the road helped! I had more one-star reads than ever this month, which was not super fun… here’s to better books to finish this year strong!

The 14 Books I Read in August

The first half of this month was full of a lot of books (although not many winners…) and then I basically stopped reading entirely? Thanks, depression…

The 20 Books I Read in July

Phew, it was a SOLID month of reading! It helps that I traveled and had time to read on flights (PRAISE), and that I had some housesitting time that involved days spent by the pool, and that I did I spent the last weekend of the month doing a readathon that resulted in 4 books being read over 2 days!

The 13 Books I Read in June

I continue to hardly read during the weeks and then read ALL THE THINGS on the weekends (thank you, Sabbath!) and my Goodreads challenge continues to stress me out with its reminders of how behind schedule I am… but whatever! Here’s to reading for FUN when we want to and not getting stressed about it!

The 19 Books I Read in May

I’m always surprised that I read at ALL during birthday month, when there are so many festivities to be had! But this month stepped things up as I tried to catch up on the Goodreads goal that was seriously slacking… but overall, not a ton of great reads this month.

The 13 Books I Read in April

I’m slowing down on my reading progress and it’s starting to bum me out… but then I remember I still read 13 books this month and several of them were real favorites... so I want to celebrate that! Slow and steady is the name of the game right now, and I’m giving myself grace that it’s okay to not be flying through books all the time.

The 15 Books I Read in March

Had some amazing reads this month, and some duds, but that’s life. It was a female-heavy month, but I didn’t read as diversely as I ideally would like, so I’m focusing more on that in April!

The 17 Books I Read in February

A solid (even thought it felt slow) month of reading! Started strong focusing on Black authors, trailed off as I got preorders in the mail and Netflix distracted me with Firefly Lane.

Every Single Book I Read in 2020 (All 226 of Them!)

I’m both really excited and also not at all surprised by how many books I read this year… a pandemic and a lot of quarantining and living alone and needing to escape the mess of a world means you choose books a LOT. (If you’re me, anyway.)

What I Read in December

Phew, the year ended in a bit of a frenzy, with lots of Christmas craziness (did you know it’s SO FUN and SO MUCH WORK to be on staff at a church in December?!?!??) and lots of great, fun books.

What I Read in November

You know those months where you just want to read books that feel good? That was me this November. Romances + mysteries + a few non-fiction reads to inspire and motivate, and I was a happy little reader this month!
