I got this one up closer to the end of the quarter — and I think I will continue these posts in 2024. When I was putting together my top books of the year post for Instagram, I realized that with these quarterly stacks, there was no way I could narrow it down to onlyContinueContinue reading “Q4 2023 Wrap-up”

And just like that, it’ll be 2024 tomorrow – 2023 flew by (I’m starting to feel like a broken record for saying that every year, but it’s true)! For 2023, the word that I chose was STRIVE. In 2023, there were so many things that I wanted to accomplish, from putting more focus on beingContinueContinue reading “Goodbye 2023, Hello 2024”

This is one of my favourite things about the end of the year, but I haven’t done it since 2020! Since the blog was pretty quiet this year, I’m skipping the blogging section, and just focusing on books read and plans for next year. This annual survey was created by the incredibly talented Jamie @ The PerpetualContinueContinue reading “2023 End of Year Survey”

Only a couple of months late, but at least I made it before the end of the year! If you follow me on Instagram, I did have this post up closer to the end of September, but also realized when I posted that the top book was actually finished in early October … oooops! KingContinueContinue reading “Q3 2023 Wrap-up”

Here we are, halfway through 2023 already … well, more than halfway, as this post is a tad late! I have read SO MANY great books this year, but we’ll start with the two not pictured above, as they’ve been loaned out to friends, and then work through the stack. The Drowning Woman by RobynContinueContinue reading “Q2 2023 Wrap-up”

And just like that … we’re a quarter of the way through 2023! My reading this year has definitely been slower than prior years, but I think that’s just a result of shifting away from a focus on how many books I can read in a month and truly savouring the books that I’ve pickedContinueContinue reading “Q1 2023 Wrap-up”

Before I get started, I wanted to share a post that I wrote on my old blog way back in September 2014 – it’s been rattling around in my brain for a while and I wanted to share this first as a preface to what will follow from Current Me. ARCs (or Advance Reading Copies)ContinueContinue reading “On ARCs (and a farewell of sorts)”

Here we are, at the end of another year – can someone please explain to me how that happened? The past 12 months have been such a whirlwind, and yet January 2022 feels like five years ago. My word for 2022 was INTENTIONAL and I feel like I did a decent job at being intentionalContinueContinue reading “Goodbye 2022, Hello 2023”

I participated in the Magical Readathon for the first time in 2020 … and I loved it! Then the world started hating on Harry Potter because of JKR’s actions, and G. decided to not continue with the traditional O.W.L.S. and N.E.W.T.S. approach and re-invented the readathon to still be magical, but held in an entirelyContinueContinue reading “Magical Readathon TBR”

ID: A stack of the books listed below sits atop my book cart. I’m generally not much of a TBR person … I find as soon as I say, “These are the books I will read,” my mood immediately changes her mind and I lose all interest in those books. At the same time, IContinueContinue reading “Spring TBR”
